NPD Top 20: Kratos hangs on, ModNation makes appearance
NPD has released the top 20 software results for May, and it finds Lost Planet 2 taking the number 11 spot, followed by New Super Mario on DS.
Three racers were released in May, none of which lit a fire on the charts. ModNation Racers on PS3 came in at 18, while Split/Second and Blur didnt make an appearance in the top 30 (IGN).
However, both Blur and ModNation Racers were released on May 25 in the US, so the June numbers - expected later in the month -may be a bit kinder to the titles.
Looking over the entire chart, Nintendo walked away the clear winner with nine games on the list - six for Wii and three on DS.
Microsoft followed with six titles, four of which were in the top 10 tying with Nintendo. Sony had five spots on the chart.
