So you're wonder, why am I super late with the NPD? Well it seems my interest in game news is starting to decline. I seem way more interested in the situation with the economy, not to mention anticipation towards the Comic-Con coming up.
Speaking of which, I may end up qualifying for a chance to test out the Nintendo Wii U. If I do, I'll give you my opinion on it. Right now, let's do a quick NPD May 2012
1.) Diablo 3 (PC) Activision Blizzard
2.) Max Payne 3 (360, PS3, PC) Take-Two Interactive - 440K
3.) Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (360, PS3) Ubisoft - 400K
4.) Prototype 2 (360, PS3) Activision Blizzard
5.) NBA 2K12 (360, PS3, Wii, PSP, PS2, PC) Take-Two Interactive
6.) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (360, PS3, Wii, PC) Activision Blizzard
7.) Sniper Elite V2 (360, PS3) 505 Games
8.) Battlefield 3 (360, PS3, PC) Electronic Arts
9.) Dragon's Dogma (360, PS3) Capcom - 92K
10.) Just Dance 3 (Wii, 360, PS3) Ubisoft
No matter if it requires online or not, Diablo 3 pushed ahead of the entire competition, earning number 1 on the charts. Max Payne 3 is right behind the Lord of Destruction at number 2. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is right up there at number 3. Not to be the only Activision Blizzard game on the list, Prototype 2 is at number 4 with NBA 2K12 at number 5 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 at number 6. 505 Games' Sniper Elite v2 is at Number 7 and EA's Battlefield 3 is at number 8. Rounding out the Top 10 are Dragon's Dogma and Just Dance 3.
Unfortunately, Hardware numbers aren't doing so hot lately, with the 360 pulling at 160K with the 3DS at 113.5K. Nintendo is said to be around 285K in total hardware sales. Which makes us wonder: is the recession finally getting to the video game makers in their worst year ever?
Will June's NPD numbers prove better when it releases later this month? Stay tuned.
