Take Two (NASDAQ:TTWO)'s Bioshock 2 on the Xbox 360 barely beat out Wii's popular New Super Mario Brothers for the month of February, according to NPD. Activision's November release, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was at number 3 and 6 of the top 10. Electronic Arts hit the next three spots. Sony's Heavy Rain comes in tenth.
On the hardware side, PS3, Xbox and DS saw modest year over year sales increases, but Nintendo's Wii saw a dramatic decrease from 753,000 last February to under 400,000 this time around.
