Just in case our 10/10 review didn’t convince you enough that Rockstar’s sprawling Western epic wasn’t top quality gaming on a disk, the US NPD sales data has confirmed it: Red Dead Redemption was the biggest selling game in May.
The monthly sales figures, posted here last night, show that sandbox cowboy action is the way to go, with the 360 version outselling the PS3 version by a massive margin. Still, both versions sat at the top quite nicely, with the Wii’s Super Mario Galaxy 2 just pipped to 2nd place.

Good to see THQ’s UFC up there too, TSA’s 2nd 10/10 in a week of high scoring games back in May. Hardware wise, it’s the DS well out on top followed closely by the Wii. The Xbox 360 and PS3 lag behind, Microsoft’s console out on top by 50,000 units.
The PSP props up the back selling just 60,000 units throughout the month.
