Square Enix's latest acquisition, Eidos, is turning out to have been a shrewd and smart move with Deux Ex: Human Revolution scoring the top spot in sales across three platforms. Meanwhile eight games on this list are on Nintendo hardware which is really impressive. On the hardware side of the spectrum, the Xbox 360 remains king with its wealth of software and Kinect bundles. The Nintendo 3DS is slightly behind with 235,000 units sold after the price drop, the PS3 follows, then the Wii, and finally the Nintendo DS seems to be losing steam. It may have been a slow month for game sales, but the industry chugs on.
