The NPD group has reported about the top 10 best-selling games in the U.S during the month of January, 2013. Game Spot said the following about the sales charts:
The January 2013 reporting period was actually five weeks instead of four due to the NPD Group’s adherence to the National Retail Federation calendar. This extra week is a consequence of the NPD Group’s 4-5-4 retail calendar and occurs only once every five or six years. As a result of including the “Leap Week,” sales are inflated to a degree. Adjusted sales are in the chart below.
