01-28-2009 J.Biz Edge Online has compiled a list of the top video games of 2008 in both North America and Europe. Using a method which is debatable (as well as every other author of video game list) they found the top 60 games of the last 12 months, all of which has sold at least 1 million copies. Be aware they just estimated these sales and could be off, but the list remains very fun.
Some clusters like Guitar Hero and its many titles skews things. No download sales or bundles are included. Also Asia and Japan are not included, which must benefit non-Wii games.
Here is the top ten off of that list. What do you think? Is this top ten in the right order in terms of quality? Or does there need to be a re-list. The debate begins.
1. Grand Theft Auto IV- 13 Million 2. Mario Kart Wii- 11 Million 3. Guitar Hero- Various- 10 Million 4. Wii Fit- 9 Million 5. Super Smash Bros. Brawl- 7 Million 6. Call of Duty World at War- 7 Million 7. Madden NFL 09- 6 Million 8. FIFA 09- 5 Million 9. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed- 5 Million 10. Gears of War 2- 4 Million
