NPDs: NBA 2K11, Fallout: New Vegas Lead October Sales
NBA 2K11 came in first place in terms of combined SKUs or, in other words, it was the best-selling game when you combine sales of its Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Wii and PC versions. For better or for worse, this is how the NPD reports its data now.
In terms of individual SKUs, the best-selling game of the month was the Xbox 360 version of Fallout: New Vegas, which sold around 679,000 units in total.
Rock Band 3, which also debuted in October, did not place on the top ten. According to NPD analyst Anita Frazier, the game came in fifteenth place, though it should be noted that the game premiered on October 26.
"Based on solid reviews, [Rock Band 3] has the potential to perform well over the holidays," said Frazier.
