GameStooge's own Jordan Lund gives his analysis and take on the November 2010 NPD.
Excerpt: "In one month, Black Ops sold 8.4 million units. 1 in every 4 games sold was Black Ops. It’s now ranked #7 on the list of best selling games of all time… in ONE MONTH. To give you some idea, Modern Warfare 2 had the biggest launch of all time when it came out and it sold about 1/2 of what Black Ops had, though it’ll be interesting to see if Black Ops has the same staying power as MW2.
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood – the third (the fourth if you count the PSP version) ranks at a respectable #2. The resurrected Donkey Kong Country jumps in at #6. Racing competitors Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit and the long awaited Gran Turismo 5 were neck and neck at numbers 7 and 8, though one must account for the fact that Gran Turismo was released on November 24, giving it only a week’s worth of release data."
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.

As the first game to be released in the DKC series in 11 years, fans of Donkey Kong were eager to see how the iconic ape’s adventures continued. And when it was finally released, the game proved well worth the wait. With incredible level design, difficult yet fun platforming gameplay, vibrant presentation and an amazing soundtrack, “Donkey Kong Country Returns” is an amazing side-scrolling platformer and an incredible comeback for one of Nintendo’s oldest mascots.
