US Game Revenue Was Up Year-Over-Year In February, Despite Slight Software Shrinkages.

3 billion to $1.6 billion. An increase in hardware and peripheral sales were credited for the gains, while software shrunk a bit between February 2010 and 2011.

Despite dipping year-over-year, the software charts for February are littered with new games — Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 performed exceptionally, taking the spot directly behind Call Of Duty: Black Ops. Incidentally, the NPD's announced that Treyarch and Activision's FPS is now the best selling game in North America of all time.

Bulletstorm and Killzone 3 both fared favourably, despite having just a week to chart, finishing in seventh and eighth respectively. Elsewhere the dance genre continues to thrive, with Michael Jackson: The Experience, Zumba Fitness and the immortal Just Dance 2 all charting.
