Of Course L.A. Noire Was The Top Selling Game In North America For The Month Of May.

A. Noire</a> managed to top the sales charts in North America last month, despite video game spending being down 13% year-over-year. New entries Brink and LEGO Pirates Of The Caribbean rounded out the top-three.

Unfortunately revenue for the industry as a whole dropped from $829.4 million to $718.8 million, though hardware was only down by 5%. Sony's PlayStation 3 managed to sell a reasonable 177,000 units, an impressive number given the hiatus of the PlayStation Network for much of the month of May. It was software that took the biggest hit, with sales down by a whopping 19% compared to last year.

Hit the jump for the top-ten.
