With the year ending, Activision claims that it was the number 1 US console and handheld publisher for the first eleven months of this calendar year, citing the NPD Group’s analysis. Apparently, the company also increased its market share during this period to a record 16.8%, a 7.9% increase over the same period last year.

Their biggest selling titles this year were, unexpectedly, Guitar Hero 3 and Call of Duty 4. The publisher earlier this year merged with Blizzard and now goes by the name Activision Blizzard.
