Notes:
- Note that PC sales for Portal 2 do not include Steam sales which are not made public but likely in excess of 300k.
- In case you didn't feel like doing the math, Portal 2 edged Mortal Kombat on consoles in the Americas ever so slightly by 536,395 to 533,898. Factoring in European sales gives Mortal Kombat the edge 732k to 723k. Impressive by both nonetheless.
-The mediocre software lineup for the 3DS appears to be hurting sales as it drops below the regular DS for the first time since launch and has no games in the top 20 in the Americas, and sold fewer units than any other current handheld or console in Europe in this week.
- Conduit 2 debut sales are down almost 40,000 units from the first game's debut in 2009.
- Gears of War 3 pre-orders are more than four times higher than either Halo 3 or Call of Duty: Black Ops were 22 weeks before launch, although that likely has a lot to do with the beta that is available to those who pre-order Gears 3.
- Grand Theft Auto IV is the third PS3 game to sell 8 million copies worldwide (and the first non-Call of Duty game).
