Mass Effect 3 sells 1.3 million in the US , over double Mass Effect 2

March sales figures are in and Mass Effect 3 has taken top spot in the latest NPD report.

Having gone on sale March 6, the game enjoyed a staggering 1.3 million unit sell-through across PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. That's more than double Mass Effect 2's original launch back in 2010 which debuted at over 500K.

According to Microsoft, the Xbox 360 version of the game held the vast majority of sales with an impressive 943K units sold. By that count, it outsold the PS3 version nearly 4:1 - not unsurprising given the series' roots.
