NPD Reveals Platform-Specific 2010 New Game Charts
The full breakdown per console is below, but a few points of interest jump out at us. Now that Mass Effect 2 is coming to the PlayStation 3, both it and the Xbox 360 have only two console-exclusives listed in their top 10. Notable absences include the PS3-exclusive Heavy Rain, and any Kinect games--the latter coming as a surprise considering Microsoft's boast that the peripheral has been a commercial smash hit.
God of War was popular, appearing on both the PS3 (God of War 3) and PSP (God of War: Ghost of Sparta) lists. And though Nintendo is often called out for dominating with its first-party software, the same could be said of Sony taking 4/10 on PSP and 2/10 on PS3.
