Good for Left 4 Dead though. Seems that it's catching on quite nicely which is very surprising considering what it had to compete with. Gears of War 2 though out of the top 10 though.

Most hardware only 10% above NPD, PSP farther out than that.

Left4Dead undertracked, I guess.

WTF Lord of the Rings PS3?

Wii fit outsold the wii :D!

I dunno if I should use: "I blame Wii fit"

or: "Wii is supply-constrained"

or: "Wii-fad is over!"

Some errors in the OP:

- Skate 2 is 199k
- MKDS is obviously DS
- LOTR is 360 not PS3
