'Kay, so I found this on Yahoo.

http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/t...so-far/1407296

It has the bestsellers of 2010 so far from 10 to 1 and I thought it was kinda interesting. :3

My Thoughts    
I'm pleasantly surprised that 7 of the top 10 are made by Nintendo, 5 for the Wii and 2 for the DS. I also noticed that HG was #7 and #2 was SouSilver so I guess people like Lugia more? xD

NSMBW was also a good choice for #1 I suppose.


Discuss. o3o

I didn't like NSMBW. All FPS games can go die except for Portal and Portal 2.

No way?! Just dance Wii is more popular than SMG2? That's probably because Just dance has been out longer. I'm wondering how SoulSilver out sold HeartGold by that much. I find NSMBWii to be fitting for number one.

I kinda liked SMG1 better than SMG2, I still haven't done much on SMG2 yet.

Not really suprising to me most of these games I was aware were doing well.

SS and HG should probably together also.

Don't you think they should have made this list in early 2011? The year's not nearly over yet.

NSMBW is a Sidescroller, not an FPS...


@Mag - Yeah, HeartGold and SoulSilver should have been together, but oh well.

I can't believe that SMG2 is the 10th! I somehow expected such a place for Modern Warfare 2 and Wii Sports Resort. They are really good. Let us face it, NSMB deserves the first place, but if we combine HG and SS together, then Pokémon is the first!

I'm surprised Metro 2033 wasn't on the list...

Jared, the article was called "Top 10 Bestsellers of 2010 SO FAR"

Note the "so far" o3o

In caps o3o

I didn't really like NSMBW. It doesn't deserve first place. If you put HG and SS together they would've outsold it. EASILY. AND it came out last year so it shouldn't even be there.

How are they even getting these stats? User poll, Total profits, or actually getting the number of copies sold?

How did a shovelware series beat out Super Mario Galaxy 2? Is the cas-core fanbase really that large?!

Modern Warfare 2 doesn't deserve to be there because that was a 2009 release. AND THE ARTICLE EVEN ACKNOWLEDGES THIS! WHAT THE HELL, YAHOO! REVIEWERS?!

HeartGold and SoulSilver should've been compiled together for sales. I mean, they were released at the same time and the core game is the same even with the differences between versions taken into account...

Again, WiiSports Resort was a release from last year. Why this game is included on the list I don't know why, even though it's an awesome game.

WiiFit Plus was last year too if my memory serves me correctly, although I might be wrong on this point particularly.

God of War III and Red Dead Redemption... hmph.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii yes. Because yes. Although, like the article states, if they compiled both the Pokemon versions' sales together then HGSS would be first. Then again, they SHOULD BE FIRST BECAUSE NEW SMBWii CAME OUT LAST YEAR YOU STUPID PEOPLE

Ha, I like how you guys get all enraged over little stuff like this.

I should post random things like this more often. :3

And I actually didn't read much of the article, I just looked through the top 10. o3o

No duh! There's a lot more casual people with mediocre taste out there then real gamers. Anyways, NSMBW would be predicted and I was surprised that SMG2 in a month sold 1 million copies. (I looked it up). And I could almost predict God of War 3 and Red Dead Redemption would be up there and my response to Vel.....You forgot Metroid Prime Trilogy.

So many games that I own are on that list: SMG2, SS, NSMBW, Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit (Plus), which is absolutely great. I think SMG2 deserves a better ranking, and NSMBW shouldn't have been the first because the sales of HG/SS should've been combined together.
