Next-Genhas charted the top 10 sellers in software for several categories, according to Amazon’s sales data.Halo 3andThe Orange Boxare naturals for top spots, but another that hasn’t even been released is racking up high rankings as well.
Overall, the best selling title across all platforms isThe Orange Box(PC), which finally knocksHalo 3out of the top spot. As far as the Xbox 360 is concerned, both are still at the top, but places are switched, withHalo 3coming first. Activision’sCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfarepreorders are knocking at the back door, coming in at third place for the console.
We shouldn’t be surprised at the pre-holidy preorder action, butActivision’s Guitar Hero IIIis already taking many of the top spots, including the top two spots for PS2 (bundle and stand-alone game). It also manages to rank on every console’s list that it is being released for: 8th for PS3, 4th for Wii, and 10th for Xbox 360. It looks like Activision is going to have great holiday sales numbers.
Many other highly anticipated games’ preorders are also high ranking, with titles like Super Mario Galaxy, Assassin’s Creed, andMass Effectsitting in top ten spots.
