The top 10 best selling games of those shio listed (excl Diablo3):

1. Wii Sports Resort - 25 million copies lifetime
2. The Sims 3 - 15 million copies
3. CoD: MW2 - 12 million copies
4. Starcraft 2 - 12 million
5. GrTurismo 5 - 7 million
6. FIFA 2010 - 7 million
7. Madden2010 - 6 million
8. Residnt Evil 5 - 5 million
9. Halo 3: OSDT - 5 million
10. Bioshock 2 - 4.5 million

This don't seem right though - where are all the Nintendo games and also there should be more multiplatform shooters n' stuff released in 2009 that could do 5 mill?

 

 So The Sims 3 wil nearly match the original The Sims? Downright impossible.

I dunno lol. I just assumed The Sims 2 had sold 20 million copies or more since shio always keeps droping around these insane numbers for PC sales lol.

 

 

Lol VGC doesn't even have near complete data for The Sims. It's sold well over 50 million units, actually. It remains the best selling game of all time.

I would say 15 million is pretty conservative. More like 20 million.

I doubt BioShock 2's ability to sell 4.5 million. Generally, same-console sequels without massive advertising budgets (like MGS, GT), sell less than the original. I'd predict around 2 million on 360, 1 million on PS3...you think the PC version can get 1.5 million? I suppose it could, but I would personally replace that with Killzone 2 with around the same number, maybe a little higher.

Oh, and GT5 won't sell below 9 million.

Incorrect. It has sold over 50M including expansions. 

The main game has sold somwhere around what VGC claims (for the Sims 1, the sims 2 is probably incomplete).
