Across all platforms, Resident Evil 5 sold a combined total of 1.5 million copies of the game last month. This definitely proves that there is a whole slew of Resident Evil fans, new and old alike.
Second in line for top game sales in March is Pokemon Platinum for the DS with a total of 805,000 copies sold. It appears that the Pokemon faithful are still marching along strong.
And coming in with a strong third place finish with 639,000 copies sold is Halo Wars for the Xbox 360. Very impressive for being a RTS on a console. Granted, it did have the Halo name and franchise on it, but it's still a console RTS! I believe the release of the demo helped a lot of players and Halo fans get used to the RTS controls of Halo Wars. I actually downloaded and put a good amount of time in the demo. Unfortunately for Halo Wars, Dawn of War II for the PC released just a few weeks prior, so all of my gaming attention went to that (and it still is!)
Do you own Resident Evil 5, Pokemon Platinum, or Halo Wars? If you do, please post your thoughts and impressions of any of these games!
