September NPD: Madden NFL 12, Xbox 360 on top
by Andrew Yoon, Oct 13, 2011 4:15pm PDTIf you're looking for surprises, go read a Robert Ludlum novel--because this month's NPD report is shockingly predictable. The top game of the month is none other than EA's Madden 12, which manged to sell 1.4 million copies in its first week.
EA actually dominated quite a large chunk of the sales pie, with FIFA and NHL 12 also earning high spots on the sales charts. Gears of War 3 is the top exclusive of the month, securing the second place spot.
