					<description><![CDATA[We have the April NPD 2012 sales for you and it&#8217;s not looking pretty. Activision&#8217;s Prototype 2 is the title that sold the most and did over 200k. When compared to last year same period, the top 7 tiles outsold the no. 1 title of April 2012, which really shows how big the decline is. [&#8230;]]]></description>

<p style="text-align: justify">We have the April NPD 2012 sales for you and it&#8217;s not looking pretty. Activision&#8217;s Prototype 2 is the title that sold the most and did over 200k. When compared to last year same period, the top 7 tiles outsold the no. 1 title of April 2012, which really shows how big the decline is.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Kinect Star Wars is at the no. 2 spot followed by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Xenoblade, which was released in the US after a lot of requests from the fans failed to top the top 10 chart.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">&#8220;Last April, the top seven titles outsold the top-selling title this year, and, simply stated, there were notably fewer new market introductions,&#8221; said Anita Frazier.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a simple as that because when we see compelling content come into the market, the games are still selling as well as ever &#8211; we just saw a lot less this April as compared to last.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Nintendo declined to give PR, and Sony failed to reveal hardware numbers. The Xbox 360 sold 236k in which was one of the slowest month of sales ever.</p>
