Along with the data report for February, NPD Group has revealed that Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops has now sold more than any other title in history.
NPD analyst Anita Frazier commented, "Call of Duty: Black Ops was the best-selling game in February, retaining the top selling spot since launch in November. It has now become the best-selling game in history, topping Wii Play."
That's quite a feat. We're trying to get an actual units number from NPD. We'll keep you posted. [Update: NPD has told IndustryGamers that Black Ops has sold 13.7 million units in the U.S.]

In just three months? I want an official confirmation because that doesn't seem very likely.

I wish you'd link to Pachter's statement that he believes that Black Ops won't really sell as good as the previous CoD games. Ah well.
