In a surprising turn of events, the 360 outsold the PS3 this month. In other news, the DS and Wii once again dominate the sales charts with four Nintendo-developed games on the top ten and over two million consoles sold between the two platforms. The PSP continues to sell poorly in the U.S., nearly being eclipsed by the almost decade's old PS2.

The bigger winner this month is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which sold six million across two platforms, the 360 and PS3. Runner-ups include New Super Mario Bros. Wii-- already a million seller-- as is Assassin's Creed 2. Then there's Left 4 Dead 2 with nearly 750,000 copies sold, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, Dragon Age: Origins, and Mario Kart Wii.
