June NPD: MGS4 takes comfortable lead as US bestseller
Surprisingly no one, NPD data for JUne has shown that Metal Gear Solid 4 was by far the bestselling game in the US last month, but a shock comes with Guitar Hero On Tour at number two with over 400,000 units sold. There’s no accounting for taste. Figures below.
- PS3 METAL GEAR SOLID 4 774.6K (Does not include bundles with PS3 hardware)
- NDS GUITAR HERO ON TOUR 422.3K
- 360 NINJA GAIDEN II 372.7K
- WII FIT W/BALANCE BOARD 372.7K
- WII PLAY W/ REMOTE 359.1K
- 360 BATTLEFIELD: BAD COMPANY346.8K
- WII MARIO KART W/WHEEL 322.4K
- WII LEGO INDIANA JONES: 294.5K
- NDS LEGO INDIANA JONES: 267.8K
- PS2 LEGO INDIANA JONES: 260.3K

Interesting to see the platforms where Lego Indy sells best. It becomes rather obvious that targeting the 360 or the PS3 with ‘family’ and kids games is probably a complete waste of time. Microsoft should take note.

Not sure I agree Blerk. Like the Lotto people tell us you can’t win it if you’re not in it, and they’ll have to make headway in that department if they want to prevent Sony from overtaking them. Although they’d probably get better odds with the Lotto.
