For the next few day’s you’re going to see nothing but headlines like “It’s been the top selling console for 11 of the past 12 months”, and “this represents 39% year-over-year growth!”. We wanted you to know it’s now official, the Xbox 360 is king of the hill.
Sadly the NPD no longer lists exact units for each console maker so the best we have to go on comparison wise is that Microsoft sold an impressive 270,000 units last month. Here’s also a list list of the top games in the United States:
Top 10 best-selling games (US) for May 2011:
- L.A. Noire (360, PS3)
