NPD January 2010: NSMBW tops Mass Effect 2 on software charts

By Stephany Nunneley

NPD has released the software figures for January 2010, and it looks like New Super Mario Bros. Wii beat out Mass Effect 2 by around 84K units, with 656.7K units sold.

However, you have to take into consideration that Mass Effect 2 was only out for six days in January, so those are still fantastic numbers.

In all, software sales came in at $597.9 million for the month compared to $682.6 million last year, which is a 12 percent drop.

Here’s the full thing:

1. New Super Mario Bros. (Wii) – 656.7K
2. Mass Effect 2 (360) – 572.1K
3. Wii Fit w/Balance Board (Wii) – 555.7K
4. Modern Warfare 2 (360) – 326.7K
