November 12, 2009 | 6:35 PM PST
Sure Modern Warfare 2 is out breaking records left and right, but we're only just now getting the NPD results for October. Rounding out the top of the software charts were Naughty Dog's stellar Uncharted 2, Wii Fit Plus, and multi-platform underdog Borderlands.
NPD's October top ten sellers were:
01. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3) - 537,000
02. Wii Fit Plus (Wii) - 441,000
03. Borderlands (Xbox 360) - 418,000
04. Wii Sports Resort (Wii) - 314,000
05. NBA 2K10 (Xbox 360) - 311,000
06. Halo 3 ODST (Xbox 360) - 271,000
07. NBA 2K10 (PS3) - 213,000
08. Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360) - 175,000
09. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (DS) - 169,000
10. FIFA Soccer 10 (Xbox 360) - 156,000
It's great to see Borderlands managing a respectable third, especially considering it's a new IP and really didn't get a whole lot of mainstream press.
Despite the upturn in September and favorable predictions for the rest of 2009, consumer spending on videogames is down 18% compared to the same time last year. It looks like the buzz generated by all the price-cuts is dying down earlier than expected.
Have you bought any of the top 10 games? If not, which ones did you go for instead?
