Even though Darksiders II took top spot as the best-selling game of August in North America, New Super Mario Bros 2 and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance both placed second and third, respectively, which is an unbelievable achievement for exclusive titles. The top ten best-sellers in North America are listed below.
- Darksiders II
- New Super Mario Bros 2
- Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
- NCAA Football 13
- Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
- Sleeping Dogs
- Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
- Batman: Arkham City
- Call of Duty: Black Ops
- The Amazing Spider-Man

I feel sorry for Kingdom Hearts 3Ds. It gets a lot of bad comments and a lot of it is just silly complaints from people fed up of waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3. If they actually paid attention during the story and read the reports this game is pretty much setting it up for Kingdom Hearts 3. Even so the game has done really well but I think part of it is lack of major competition.
