February sales: PS3 beats 360 again, Devil May Cry 4 and Turok have decent debuts
I'm still working on my story based on the new NPD figures for February sales, but I figured no reason why Cut Scene readers shouldn't have access to the raw data immediately. So here's the top 10 games and console sales for February in the U.S.
It was a pretty slow month, but still of note: "Call of Duty 4" stays on top: "Devily May Cry 4" has a solid debut and Disney's first M-rated game "Turok" has a decent bow; Playstation 3 once again outsells Xbox 360 (though Microsoft argues that the reason is it remains in a "supply constrained situation" since the holidays, a situation it says will be completely resolved in time for "Grand Theft Auto IV" next month).
