LittleBigPlanet 2 Had A Modest First Month Of Sales In North America.

Of the ten top selling games in North America last month, four of them were dancing games. Four. Just Dance 2, Zumba Fitness: Join The Party, Dance Central and Michael Jackson: The Experience. What the heck is going on? We understand the room for one dance game in the charts, but four? And they say the shooter space is oversaturated.

Thank goodness for small mercy, as both Dead Space 2 and LittleBigPlanet 2 charted in third and fourth place respectively. GAF notes that Dead Space 2 shifted 452,000 copies, while LittleBigPlanet 2 managed 353,000. A solid number for Media Molecule's game creation suite, especially when it only appeared on one system. Elsewhere, DC Universe Online scraped into the top ten with numbers in the region of 195,000 across PC and PlayStation 3.

Sony didn't give any hardware numbers, but did tout a 25 percent increase in software sales year-on-year. The software top ten is after the jump.
