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:

------------------------------------------
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."

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:

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))

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."
