Right-o. Here we go again.

#97. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (PSP) 4.99M
Still Sony's only current-gen presence in the top 100.

#90. Big Brain Academy (DS) 5.19M
Nintendo's other brain game may keep trucking towards 6M.

#86. Gears of War (360) 5.22M
There's been some suggestion this is overtracked, but reported shipments may not include bundles. It will be interesting to see if Gears 2 sells more or less.

#81. Mario and Sonic at the Olympics (Wii) 5.35M
Maybe the biggest surprise breakthrough mega-hit of the generation, Sega has said the game has shipped "around 10M" combined. It was boosted by the Olympics, and with no Mario Party 9 announced, it may be boosted again by the holidays.

#80. Mario Party 8 (Wii) 5.38M
Now sort of "the other Mario party game" compared to Mario and Sonic, but could still reap the benefits of Christmas to pass 6M sales.

#69. Grand Theft Auto IV (360) 5.86M
Riding a North American install base advantage to become the better-selling GTAIV SKU.

#66. Super Mario 64 DS (DS) 6.12M
The game that keeps on giving for Nintendo. SM64 may have sold 1M copies a year in 7-9 of the last 12 years.

#61. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (360) 6.36M
Even Activision probably isn't certain how they turned COD4 into the most popular shooter of all time.

#55. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) 6.73M
Closing in on Melee at #49/7.08M.

#53. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) 6.86M
Hasn't had the tall legs that people expected, but still should have long legs.

#51. Wii Fit (Wii) 6.96M
7M sales is likely just the start for this game.

#47. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) 7.35M
Absolutely unholy ongoing sales. Destined to be one of the best-selling games ever. Could reach 11 or 12M by the end of Nintendo's fiscal year in March.

#38. Halo 3 (360) 8.17M
Appropriately, wedged in between Halo 2 and GoldenEye 007.

#32. Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS) 9.69M
Crawling towards the big 10M mark; likely the last DS game to reach.

#24. Mario Kart DS (DS) 11.68M
Has blown past Mario Kart 64 to be the best-selling MK game, and will soon pass SM64 to be the #6 best-selling Mario game ever (including pack-ins)... Until MK Wii passes it.

#21. Brain Age 2 (DS) 11.91M

#20. Brain Age (DS) 13.95M
The original game is actually selling better right now, but both could pass 15M. Between the two games, Brain Age is basically the biggest unqualified success for any new franchise in history, save perhaps Pokemon.

#18. Wii Play (Wii) 14.40M
The world's only bargin bin killer app.

#14. New Super Mario Bros. (DS) 15.46M
On a collision course with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2) to become the best-selling (non-pack-in, single SKU) game ever... But it better watch out for Wii Play and Wii Fit.

#13. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (DS) 15.71M
I don't entirely trust the number for Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, but even if it's low, this game should still pass it, reversing the trend of Pokemon games selling less.

#8. Nintendogs (DS) 19.45M
Now passing the old Nintendo pack-ins, a level of sales only Pokemon RGB and GS ever reached before.

#5. Wii Sports (Wii) 28.00M
May pass Duck Hunt as soon as next week.

"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
