Final Fantasy XIII-2 can't topple Modern Warfare 3
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning also did well, outselling Soul Calibur V and Twisted Metal in February US sales
The NPD Group has released the list of the top selling titles for February 2012 in the U.S. and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is still the top selling game. Just Dance 3, NBA 2K12 and Battlefield 3 also continued to be consistent sellers.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 managed to sell well despite a mixed reception from the press and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning debuted at number four, easily making it the top selling new IP for the month. With Soul Calibur V in at seven and Twisted Metal at nine, it was a fairly solid month for new releases, even if catalog title sales declined.
Forgive my ignorance, please, but does the NPD release its actual numbers if they have them (instead of just rankings)? Is that part of their paid syndicated service? I know that I'm much more interested in how many copies of FFXIII-2 sold, rather than just knowing it was the best-selling newly released game.
