BioShock Infinite beats Tomb Raider to March top spot

BioShock Infinite was the biggest selling game for March 2013 in the US, according to the latest NPD charts.

The Tomb Raider reboot came in second while Xbox 360 exclusive Gears of War: Judgment placed third.

NPD analyst Liam Callahan said BioShock Infinite and Tomb Raider had "the highest first month sales for games in these franchises".

There was also bad news for EA as Dead Space 3 and Crysis 3 both failed to make a return to the top ten this month.

It should be noted that the NPD figures only take physical sales into account.

Here are the top ten best-selling games for March:

• BioShock Infinite (360, PS3, PC)
• Tomb Raider (360, PS3, PC)
• Gears of War: Judgment (360)
• God of War: Ascension (PS3)
• Call of Duty: Black Ops II (360, PS3, PC, Wii U)
• Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS)
• MLB 13: The Show (PS3, Vita)
• NBA 2K13 (360, PS3, Wii, Wii U, PSP, PC)
• The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct (360, PS3, PC)
• Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 (360, PS3)
