NPD September 2011: The Sacred Sonic Cycle

Folks, I am madder than a Sonic fan over a bad Sonic game. And if there is anything worst than a bad Sonic game, it's a good Sonic game. And if there's anything worst than a good Sonic game, it's a Mario and Sonic crossover. Sonic is teaching us that it's okay to destroy jobs and Mario is teaching us that it's okay to beat up the power. Well I've got news for you, furries. When I get my hands on Sonic Generations and the 3rd Mario/Sonic crossover, I am gonna rip you a new one. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!*Lightning storm here*

But first, the NPD numbers both Hardware and Software

Xbox 360: 438K
Playstation 3: 364K-374K
Nintendo 3DS: 260K
Wii: 240K
Nintendo DS: 145K

Now come on here. Why is the 360 still in first place? Why is the PS3 right behind? I mean Sony should be winning in the good ol US of A. Screw Europe and Japan. America is where its at, baby. I mean it's not like I got a new replacement 360 to replace my....Err, let's continue.

But what's really bugging me is the Wii. Why isn't it under 200K? Are people who didn't buy it starting to buy it? come to think of it, was Nintendo really playing possum this year? I know, cuz they're gonna sneak up back and rip Sony and Microsoft again, especially in 2008 when the latter two got better games, but the Wii stormed through. It's madness I tell ya. MADDNESS! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*Get's slapped*

Oh. Sorry. Anyway, Software

01. Madden NFL 12 (360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PSP)** Electronic Arts - Over 2.3 Million
02. Gears of War 3 (360)** Microsoft (Corp) - Over 2 Million
03. Dead Island (360, PS3, PC) Deep Silver - Nearly 1 Million

10. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (360, PS3, PC) THQ

Unfortunately, if your name is Gears of War 3, sorry but you've been outsmashed by Madden NFL 2012 across multiple systems. Dead Island is in 3rd place with FIFA Soccer 12. EA's other sports game involving Hockey(NHL 12) is right behind with SquareEnix's Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Resistance 3 comes out in 7th with Lego Star Wars III: The CLone Wars. Rounding out the top 10 is Call of Duty: Black Ops and Warhammer 40,000.

What does the month of the dead provide for gaming? Is Batman number 1 again? Will Spyro show his true colors? Can Kirby steal the spotlight? Or is Battlefield blowing the month up? Stay tuned
