Call of Duty: Black Ops Highest Selling Game Of 2010
NPD’s December numbers just came out, and some of the results are a little surprising. Disney's Epic Mickey sold better than expected, pushing 1.3 million units. What’s not surprising is that Call of Duty topped not only the December charts but the year end charts as well.
Here are the complete numbers thanks to Ripten:
Hardware
Nintendo DS – 2.5 Million
Wii – 2.36 million
Xbox 360 – 1.86 million
