The biggest-selling games were Rockstar's Max Payne 3 and Activision's Diablo 3, reports MCV.
Despite not shifting as many units as LA Noire and Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3 sales ensured Rockstar a third successive best seller for the month of May.
Diablo 3's success, meanwhile, guaranteed Activision was the number one ranked publisher by value.
