November: 360 outsells PS3, Modern Warfare 2 sells 6 million

11.12.2009

6: --203,100

On the software side, the top two titles were no surprise, as Modern Warfare 2 sold over six million copies on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in its first 18 days of availability (PC sales figures have not been released yet). The fact that the game sold more than twice the amount of Xbox 360 copies versus the PlayStation 3 version may have been one of the bigger factors for the Xbox 360's console sales surging ahead. Assassin's Creed 2, on the other hand, was a bit of a closer race between the two versions, as the Xbox 360 version sold almost 800,000 units versus the PS3, which sold nearly 450,000. The Wii managed to nab four slots on the top ten, with New Super Mario Bros. Wii debuting in third place with 1.39 million units sold, and Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit, and Mario Kart all continuing their steady sales. Other notable debuts include Left 4 Dead 2 in fifth place, and the Xbox 360 version of Dragon Age: Origins, which came in ninth. Here are the top ten selling console games for November:

1: --Xbox 360--4,200,000

2: --PS3--1,870,000

3: --Wii--1,390,000
