The recent NPD Group Australia figures on videogame sales have shown that Diablo III is Australia’s best-selling title of 2012 to date, surprising overtaking such mega-blockbusters as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, and Mass Effect 3.
Surprising since the NPD tracks physical retail sales, and Diablo III has been more of a digital seller than a retail item.
New Zealand’s top games of 2012 were more in-step with the rest of the world, with Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as the top 3 sellers.
It must be noted that sales for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Halo 4 have not figured into the sales numbers yet.
