NPD February 2014: Countdown to the March NPD

The March NPD is in two days and it's all about the fight between Infamous and Titanfall.  But what about February's NPD?  Well it goes like this



At number 10: Bravely Default by Nintendo/SquareEnix for the 3DS.  SquareEnix, take note that gamers would actually want to play something like this.

At number 09: Minecraft by Mojang/Microsoft for the 360.  Personally, I prefer playing it on the PC

At number 08: Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII by SquareEnix for the PS3 and 360.  So, uhh, when are we getting a more traditional Final Fantasy again?

At number 07: Assassin's Creed IV by Ubisoft for the 360, PS3, PS4, XBone, Wii U and PC.  Shiver me Timbers mateys.

At number 06: Battlefield 4 by Electronic Arts for the 360, PS3, PS4, XBone and PC.  Warning: a new bug where your weapons may end up killing you.  Go to http://kotaku.com/battlefield-4-bug-kills-you-when-you-try-to-shoot-1563138274 for more information

At number 05: GTA V by Rockstar for the 360 and PS3.  So how come they can't have a female protagonist?

At number 04: Thief by SquareEnix for the 360, PS3, PS4, XBone and PC.  Not as good as the original.

At number 03: NBA 2K12 by 2KGames for the 360, PS3, XBone, PS4 and PC.  Betcha Shaquille O'Neal would slam dunk a monster into that one

At number 02: The LEGO Movie by Warner Bros Interactive for the 360, PS3, 3DS, Wii  U, XBone, PS4 and Vita.  And believe it or not, the Movie was great.

And at Number 01: Call of Duty: Ghosts by ActivisionBlizzard for the 360, PS3, PS4, XBone, Wii U and PC.  Shares the same popularity with Clash of Clans and Candy Crush.

If you saw at number 10, it seems a game that SquareEnix hesitated on releasing in North America made the list.  According to NeoGAF, it sold over 200K in both Physical and Digital sales.  One wonders why SquareEnix isn't doing alot of oldskool JRPGs.

The PS4 and the XBone are still duking it out.  The PS4 leads with around 286.7K units sold with the XBone at 258K units sold.  The 360, the highest selling Generation 7 system is dipping down at 114K units.  Strangely, due to the sales of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, the Wii U got a small boost to 82.5K.

Now the big question is: Will the PS4 maintain its lead, or will the Call of Duty with Mechs game Titanfall push the XBone to number 1?  Stay tuned
