All three Nintendo systems place in the Top 10.
Capcom's pulse-pounding Resident Evil 4, madeexclusively for Nintendo GameCube beat all other video games in sales for the month of January. It's also one of the best-reviewed games in years. The sales boom no doubt has been driven by reviews that call the game "an absolute must-have," "an amazing achievement" and "early contender for game of the year."
According to the NPD Group's January sales tracking report, each Nintendo video game system had at least one game in January's top 10 sellers. In addition to Resident Evil 4 at No. 1, Nintendo continued its dominance of the hand-held market with The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap for Game Boy Advance SP at No. 3 overall, Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories for GBA SP at No. 9 and Super Mario 64 DS for Nintendo DS at No. 10.
