2. Gears of War 2 (Microsoft)
3. UFC 2009: Undisputed (THQ)
4. Call of Duty: World at War (Activision)
5. Red Faction: Guerrilla (THQ).

Japan:

2. Gears of War 2 (Microsoft)
3. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Activision)
4. Grand Theft Auto IV (Rockstar)
5. Halo 3 -- Classics Edition (Microsoft).

Despite a strong chart showing in its first two weeks of release, EA Sports' NCAA Football 10 drops out of Amazon's top five in the United States this week.

In its place are Gears of War 2 and the Game of the Year edition of Call of Duty 4 -- two titles that have rapidly moved up the charts following recent drops in price. UFC 2009 and Red Faction: Guerrilla also see sales boosts this week, as Call of Duty: World at War climbs to fourth place.

NPD Year To Date Software Sales (added when avail., via gamasutra.com (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=24481))

Xbox 360's Top 5 Year To Date

Capcom's Resident Evil 5 tops the list on Microsoft's console, and its sales are known to be in excess of a million units, including the collector's edition. THQ's UFC 2009 Undisputed ranks second on the Xbox 360 in 2009, with known sales of 1.03 million units in its two months on the market.

Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty: World at War takes #3 on the YTD chart, although its sales are difficult to estimate given its rankings this year and the fact that a collector's edition of the game is available.

The last two games, Microsoft's Halo Wars and Capcom's Street Fighter IV we estimate both have sales of 500,000 to 700,000, but again the situation is complicated by the existence of collector's editions.

The ranked top 5 for Xbox 360 is as follows:

http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/feature/4083/ytd-top-5-xbox-360.png

------------------------------------------

NPD Software Sales for June 2009 (added when avail., via kotaku.com (http://kotaku.com/5316490/prototype-ufc-beat-up-the-competition-in-june))

01. Prototype (http://kotaku.com/tag/prototype/) (X360) - 419,900
02. UFC 2009: Undisputed (X360) - 338,300
03. EA Sports Active (Wii) - 289,100
04. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 (Wii) - 272,400
05. Wii Fit (Wii) - 271,600
06. Fight Night Round 4 (X360) - 260,800
07. Fight Night Round 4 (PS3) - 210,300
08. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) - 202,100
09. Red Faction: Guerrilla (X360) - 199,400
10. Infamous (PS3) - 192,700

Total software sales in the U.S. were $625.79 million, down from the $875.75 million in games people bought in June 2008.

U.S. consumers liked what they saw in Activision's Prototype (http://kotaku.com/tag/prototype/) making the open world action game June's bestselling title by an impressive margin. Last month, its single-console sales doubled those of the game it was often compared to, Infamous.

The same was true for THQ's UFC 2009 Undisputed, which topped U.S. game sales in May (http://kotaku.com/5287490/ufc-2009-is-mays-undisputed-bestseller). The mixed martial arts title moved another 338,300 units on the Xbox 360, KO-ing its competition, EA's Fight Night Round 4. But give credit to Sucker Punch's Infamous, though. The PlayStation 3 game's second month sales were better than its first, giving it a top ten showing.

EA Sports Active managed to outsell Wii Fit in its second month on the U.S. market, a win for the third-party publisher. EA also scored a Wii hit with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, which landed in fourth place. Also debuting strongly in the NPD top ten for June was THQ's Red Faction: Guerrilla, with the Xbox 360 version selling just shy of 200,000 units.

--------------------------------------------------------

NPD Console Sales for June 2009 (added when avail., via kotaku.com (http://kotaku.com/5316476/us-console-sales-take-another-big-hit-in-june))

Nintendo DS - 766,500
Wii - 361,700
Xbox 360 - 240,600
PlayStation 3 - 164,700
PSP - 163,500
PlayStation 2 - 152,700

U.S. consumers bought $382.62 million worth of consoles last month, compared to $617.25 million a year ago.

NPD analyst Anita Frazier weighs in...
"The Xbox 360 is the only platform to have realized a unit sales increase over last June. YTD, both the 360 and NDS have generated an increase in unit sales. Although many track month-to-month sales changes, comparisons to May must take into account that June is a five-week reporting month while May spanned four weeks."

06-24-09, 06:24 PM
of note there is a retail package that just went up at gamestop.com for Marvel vs. Capcom 2. there is no disc with the game on it, but it holds a redemption code and a couple of extras for $20.
the big thing to take away from this note is its showing to be released on August 8th. does that mean the XBL and PSN version wont be released till then? maybe or maybe not. it could be like retail packaging for that game just for the gift giving season of christmas. at least thats my thought.
i'll keep MvC2 in the July 1st slot till i hear otherwise

$15 for TMNT? Even redone the game itself does not warrant that kind of price. Neither does MvC. (And they did not even bother to redo the graphics!)

The only $15 games I see in my future are BF:1943 and Shadow Complex.

The move from 5/10 to 10/15 has put a huge drop in my XBLA adoption rate. With so many great titles available for $17.99 to 19.99 at gamestop/gamefly (and sometimes even lower) I just see no reason to pay $15 for most XBLA games.

Also it seems 1200 is the new 800 eh?
Either way I'm definitely picking up MvC2, TMNT & SC.

You know I wasn't a big fan of the new art style after seeing it in motion but why on earth would they change the BGM. :mad:

Ack, that music is terrible. I was excited for the turtles remake, but the price and that music make it a pass. With BC:Rearmed and Monkey Island launching at 800 pts, I won't pay 1200 for a 30 min long arcade remake.

i was disappointed at first, but after watching this, it's not so bad!

updated top selling arcade and indie releases for the 23rd - of note is Kodu dropping slowing. its very awesome, but the lack of being able to download other peoples created games is what is missing. you can do it but that other person has to be in your friends list.

great news
xbox community games are now officially called indie games.
along with it is news that microsoft is allowing indie game developers the option to price their wares as low as $1.00/80 MS points! the bare min they used to charge was $2.50/200 MS points.

^there is always 2 sides to a coin.
the flip side of the $1 possible price is the addition of several other pricing tiers. so far only the limits are known. $1 is the minimum and $5 is the maximum. the in-betweens are not printed to the public yet, but i did some diggin around at the revised XNA creators club web site and it looks like the pricing moves in $.50/40 MS points increments.
i'll do more digging around and post a $1 indie games list. that'll take awhile but it'll be a good list to have. i may go bonkers and just do a complete list of all available indie releases.:p
the other good bit of info is that indie games can now automatically receive title updates akin to how arcade and retail games download updates when you play/insert the discs. before you had to download it again. weird.


regular business:

update on the new indie games pricing structures:
there are only 3 available tiers for new games
$1.00/80 MS points (only games under 50MB can have this price)
$3.00/240 MS points (unknown restrictions)
$5.00/400 MS points (unknown restrictions)

any current indie game valued above these rates will stay at that rate unless there is a title update at which point the developer will have to select from the new pricin scheme.

kinda late today. my birthday.
back to normal tomorrow.
of note is that ALOT of indie games are being re-priced. alot of them are dropping to $1.00/80 MS points. WAY TOO MANY TO LIST. right now at least.
also the US indie games market will start to get a flood of indie games from other areas (japan, europe, etc).
