REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

December NPD Results: Xbox 360 Reigns Supreme

Posted on Friday, January 13 @ 07:24:19 Eastern by Anthony Severino

The NPD sales results for December, that all-important holiday sales month, have now been released.

Just like every month throughout 2011, the Xbox 360 is the victor. This month, though, was a banner month for the aging console moving 1.7 million units - a 46% market share among home consoles in December.

Since console sales figures direct from NPD are no longer available, we have to rely on estimates to determine the Wii and PlayStation 3 numbers based off the Microsoft's gloating. Estimates that put the Wii just over one million sold, and the PS3, just under.

While these numbers are staggering, hardware sales are down 28% compared to December 2010. Software is down 14%. Maybe it is time for those new, next-gen consoles after all. That or some serious price drops.

NPD continues to provide direct software results, and to no one's suprise, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 dominated the chart.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Activision Blizzard
Just Dance 3 - Ubisoft
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Bethesda Softworks
Mario Kart 7 - Nintendo
Battlefield 3 - Electronic Arts
Madden NFL 12 - Electronic Arts
Assassin's Creed: Revelations - Ubisoft
NBA 2K12 - Take 2 Interactive
Super Mario 3D Land - Nintendo
Batman: Arkham City - Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment

NPD has also revealed the annual top 10 games of the year based on retail sales performance. The list reveals that two Call of Duty and two Just Dance titles have made the list.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Activision Blizzard
Just Dance 3 - Ubisoft
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Bethesda Softworks
Battlefield 3 - Electronic Arts
Madden NFL 12 - Electronic Arts
Call of Duty: Black Ops - Activision Blizzard
Batman: Arkham City - Warner Bros. Ineractive Entertainment
Gears of War 3 - Microsoft
Just Dance 2 - Ubisoft
Assassin's Creed: Revelations - Ubisoft
