Same old: Nintendo dominates NPD, Wii Fit passes Halo 3
The American NPD charts are here once again and it’s a familiar tale with Wii Fit topping the charts with over 644,000 sales. Street Fighter IV took out second and third place on the 360 and PS3 respectively, selling a whopping 849,000 copies combined. Wii Fit has now surpassed Halo 3 in sales- a phenomenal feat considering Wii Fit costs nearly as twice as much.
