News: With New Super Mario Bros. Wii hot on its heels.

The NPD Group has released their report on the bestselling games and consoles in February and the return to Rapture on the Xbox 360, BioShock 2, has taken the top spot (the PS3 version did not chart). The remaining members of the top ten are practically all holdovers from the previous months including New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Wii Sports Resort.

Both versions of Dante's Inferno appear near the tail end of the top ten with Heavy Rain snagging the tenth position after just four days on store shelves in the February sales period.
