The Xbox 360 was the highest-selling console this past March in the U.S., topping sales with 261,000 units sold during the month according to Microsoft. However, not even healthy Xbox sales and big-sellers like Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider could prevent a 10% decline in industry sales as compared to March of last year. On a brighter note, software sales (including PC) increased 2%, which represents the first increase in retail spending since November. The top-10 best-selling games for the month of March (at retail, as always) were as follows:
| Rank | Title | System | Publisher |
| 01. | Bioshock Infinite | 360, PS3, PC | Take 2 |
| 02. | Tomb Raider | 360, PS3 | Square Enix |
| 03. | Gears of War: Judgment | 360 | Microsoft |
| 04. | God of War: Ascension | PS3 | Sony |
