From the All Formats Chart:

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 sold a further 70k - 80k in April across the three formats (PC games are excluded from the individual chart, but not the All Formats chart), in addition to the 324,000 it sold across 360 and PS3 in March. That puts total sales well past 400k when March's PC sales are included.

Just Cause 2 sold a further 50k or so in April, after selling over 100k in March (not sure how much over 100k, only that it was less than Just Dance's 190k). The 360 version should now be close to receiving an Elspa Silver Award

Modern Warfare 2 sold a further 50k - 60k in April, after the 100k or so it sold in March. This game must be getting close to passing the UK's all time number one seller "Dr Kawashima Brain Training" (with 3.5m through 2009 compared to Modern Warfare 2's 2.93m, both extraploated to 100% of the market). From this years All Formats charts I estimate that Modern Warfare 2 was at nearly 3.4m (100% extrapolated) through April.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing sold around 80k during March.
