NPD divulges top selling games in the US for November

Another feather in the cap for Gears of War. After recently topping the Xbox Live Activities chart, the NPD group has revealed that GoW topped U.S. sales charts in November. So what if the Wiimote is the best selling accessory for November, MS scored a winner with the gory, third person shooter anyway.

Anyhoo, the title sold one million units, which is equivalent to sales of US$ 61.5 million. Now that’s a lot of money if you ask anyone, but one could only wonder if Gears could sustain this kind of performance now that we’re in the pivotal holiday season. It is interesting to note that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess made the list and settled for third place while four games for the PS2 made the cut. Here is the top 10 selling games for November.

1. Gears of War (Xbox 360, Microsoft)
2. Final Fantasy XII (PS2, Square Enix)
3. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii, Nintendo)
4. Guitar Hero II (PS2, Activision)
5. WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 2007 (PS2, THQ)
6. Call of Duty 3 (Xbox 360, Activision)
7. Madden NFL 07 (PS2, EA)
8. Need for Speed Carbon (PS2, EA)
9. Nintendogs (Nintendo DS, Nintendo)
10. Pokemon Ranger (Nintendo DS, Nintendo)
