viper_gm Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Combining European and North American sales data, Edge has compiled a list of the top selling games of 2008. The figures are "guesstimates," due to the nature of how sales data is represented, but the site attempts to rank 60 games, all of which sold over a million copies. The top six are: Grand Theft Auto IV - 13 million Mario Kart Wii -11 million Guitar Hero (various) - 10 million Wii Fit - 9 million Super Smash Bros. Brawl - 7 million Call of Duty: World at War - 7 million The findings nearly match the North American NPD figures, with the exception of Madden, which slides down once Europeans get thrown into the equation. We're checking with NPD to see if it plans to release another global report -- in conjunction with Chart-Track and Enterbrain -- to the public. What will we bicker and complain about otherwise?

Hot-Drake-Pixel Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 GT5P in top ten. Imagine what will happen when GT5 releases. By then PS3 install base will be much much larger compared to 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emo-Iwata Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Great. Now that they have major sales momentum its time to throw the Ninty faithful (like bulovski, Emo and myself) a bone by releasing something that's not shovelware. there always will shovelware on the system,since it's the number 1 console,but this year's lineup is looking much better already i think i'm saying this for the millionth time =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 there always will shovelware on the system,since it's the number 1 console thats not the reason why there's so much shovelware on the wii peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
