    NCAA 09 [Insert Football Pun]s U.S. Software Sales In July

    Nintendo may have reigned supreme in U.S. hardware, but it's the Xbox 360 that enjoys the best selling software for the month of July, as NCAA Football 09 moved close to 400,000 copies on Microsoft's platform. Wii Fit wasn't far behind, as it helped 369,000-plus Wii owners become that much healthier.

    NCAA Football had a strong showing on the PlayStation 3 as well, garnering a fifth place showing in the top ten, beating out the month's other new debut, Soulcalibur IV. Namco Bandai's fighter sold better on the 360 than it did on the PS3 to the tune of about 60,000 units. With only three days of sales accounted for in July, 375,000 or so copies sold isn't too shabby.

    One top ten surprise, Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution, adds a bit of variety to the NPD best sellers, which are after the jump.

    01. NCAA Football 09 (Xbox 360) - 397,600
    02. Wii Fit (Wii) - 369,600
    03. Guitar Hero: On Tour (DS) - 309,700
    04. Wii Play (Wii) - 284,000
    05. NCAA Football 09 (PS3) - 242,500
    06. Soulcalibur IV (Xbox 360) - 218,900
    07. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) - 174,500
    08. Rock Band Special Edition (Wii) - 165,800
    09. Soulcalibur IV (PS3) - 155,800
    10. Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (Xbox 360) - 147,600
