Halo 3, Xbox 360 top US September NPD sales charts |

The numbers are in and it has been confirmed that both Bungie's Halo 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360 dominated the U.S. NPD Group's sales charts for the month of September. This was pretty much expected since the Canadian NPD charts also had the Xbox 360 and Halo 3 on the top of their list.In NPD's top selling games for September, Halo 3 took top honors with all three versions combining to sell 3.3 million copies. This was followed by Wii Play which sold 282,00 copies. Pulling up the third slot is The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for the Nintendo DS with 224,000 units sold. Here are the rest of the games on the top ten list:
- Madden NFL 08 (PS2) - 205,000
- Skate (Xbox 360) - 175,000
- Madden NFL 08 (Xbox 360) - 173,000
- Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii) - 167,000
- Bioshock (Xbox 360) - 150,000
- Brain Age (Nintendo DS) - 141,000
- Heavenly Sword (PlayStation 3) - 139,000
NPD Analyst Anita Frazier commented on this sudden surge of Xbox 360 sales saying that, "if ever there was a doubt that great content drives hardware acquisition, this should put that doubt to rest." The numbers do make a point, and it is one that console manufacturers may want to keep in mind.

Did you even play Halo 2 Constantinecy? I just don't see how anyone could possibly not notice the non-graphical differences. The game is different in every possible way, and all of the differences are for the better.
And I don't have a problem with the 360 controller, what hard time are you talking about exactly?

I love PS3 and will be getting a 360 soon. Im a big fan of PS3 but even i know your statement is full of BS.
I played halo 3 and its a very good game. Nothing about it is Crap. Its a fun game and thats all you need in games at least.
While i don't think it deserved all the hype it got there is nothing bad about the game.
But just a question is this really news..i mean we all knew Halo 3 and 360 would be number one and the highest on the sale charts in September. Its no surprise. September was MS month really.

I knew the PS3 wouldn't be on top this early, they're in a marathon not sprint.
Besides the PS3 has actually done extremely well, i mean its already sold more than PS1 and PS2 in its first year combined.
I wouldn't call all of the 360 games great, good yes. A somewhat good launch of titles is what helping them now, and year start of course.

Bungie, fix this now. If I melee first because I'm better and faster, I should win.
