Courtesy of Jason Kraft and Chris Kwak (analysts at Susquehanna Financial
Group) and their sources, here are the top-selling game titles in the US and UK as of January 23. For the US titles,
the top-selling title at Walmart.com, Amazon.com and Gamestop.com are listed in that order. It's interesting to note
how Amazon.com and Walmart.com differ from the specialty game retailer on some titles and platforms. We're thinking
that some Walmart.com shoppers are going to be very puzzled by their purchases of Nintendo DS
title Electroplankton. It's good, but it's not for
everyone.
