Amazon has just released a list of the most ordered goods on its site over the Christmas period, and while said list seems like an excuse to gloat about sale of the Kindle Fire, interestingly enough the biggest selling video game was Just Dance 3.
Not a huge shock, I definitely would have predicted a top 10 entry for the game, but would have fully expected Modern Warfare 3 to take the top spot.
But it wasn’t far behind, taking out second place. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim came in third place. Apparently Amazon customers bought enough copies of Just Dance to give every person who participated in the world record for simultaneous dancing 15 copies of the game.
That’s a meaty, rubbish way of saying that Amazon sold roughly 360,000 copies of the game.
