The NPD results for the month of April has been revealed, with Warner Bros and Netherrealm Studios' Mortal Kombat reboot topping the software charts and the Xbox 360 still reigning supreme in the hardware department.

"April 2011 represents the first month that new physical retail sales of content showed growth in both units and dollars since November of last year," said NPD analyst Anita Frazier. "The Xbox 360 platform generated the greatest unit sales of new physical content at over 3.5 million units for the month, followed by the Nintendo DS platform. The Nintendo DS, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 platforms all generated greater unit sales of content versus April 2010."

Mortal Kombat is the best selling game of the month, which sold just less than 900,000 units, according Frazier, with Portal 2 and Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars taking the second and third spot respectively. "The content slate was stronger this year versus last April," concluded Frazier. "Five games sold more than 250K units in April 2011 as opposed to just two last April."
