  • L.A Noire Tops June 2011 Software Sales According To NPD

    L.A Noire kept its throne for the second time in a row by topping the software sales in June according to NPD. Duke Nukem was second while Infamous 2 finished with a 3rd position despite being on a single platform.

    While L.A Noire and Duke Nukem were released on multiple platforms, Infamous 2 was released on PS3 only which made its sales more important than both of the games. According to Sony, Infamous 2 was the single best selling SKU of the month. The combined sales of all platforms for L.A Noire and Duke Nukem helped them claim the top 2 spots easily.

    NPD results also showed the sales of Microsoft Xbox 360 which were twice as many as all current generation platform sales. The Xbox 360 sold about 507,000 units during June 2011.
