Update: According to NetherRealm's Ed Boon, the NPD figures don't count "special versions" of Mortal Kombat, in which case the game sold over 1 million units in April. Sony also confirmed to 1UP that the 13% increase in PS3 systems sold is year-over-year, in which case that adds up to about 204,304 PS3s. And Nintendo confirmed its systems' sales figures, according to MarketWatch: 172,000 Wiis (down 38% from April 2010) and 194,000 3DSes.
Original Story: Mortal Kombat was the best selling game in the month of April, according to the latest figures released by the NPD Group. It sold nearly 900,000 units between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. Portal 2 was the next best-selling game, although no specific numbers for Valve's latest game were cited. That's just as well, as the game undoubtedly sold a great deal through Steam, the numbers from which would not be included in the NPDs.
Call of Duty: Black Ops, which was the best-selling game from its release until March, managed to still make a very respectable appearance at number four. It was topped by Lego Star Wars III at number three, which shot up several spots from its debut at number six in March. Just Dance 2 and Michael Jackson: The Experience returned to the top ten, and NBA 2K11 continues to sell well, thanks in part to the lack of competition from EA. Homefront and Dragon Age II, two of March's top games, fell from the list completely. Five games sold over 250,000 units during the month, up from two during April 2010.
