Lead by MW2, then four nintendo titles making up the top Five

 

COD MW2 - 11.86million

Wii sports resort - 7.57

NSMB Wii - 7.41

Wii fit plus - 5.80

Wii fit - 5.44

 

 



All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion 

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

July 2009 daveJ said: True the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

Just to let people know.... this is only Japan, USA and UK sales.

So not really global... but still, impressive for CoD to sell nearly 3m in the UK alone

Can't really compare properly to VGC.... but using the generally accepted 85% of Americas to get USA, and 30% of Europe to get UK sales VGC has this:

Call of Duty MW2: 7,851 + 249 + 1,677 = 9,777k
Wii Sports Resort: 4,500 + 1,633 + 1,670 = 7,803k
New SMB Wii: 3,847 + 2,747 + 827 = 7,421k
Wii Fit Plus: 3,294 + 1,417 + 996 = 5,707k
Wii Fit: 3,913 + 584 + 1,188 = 5,685k

Of course this isn's a very good way of doing it as certain games are stronger in certain regions than others.... MW2 being the major one as it does phenomenally well in the UK and US compared to elsewhere, so it more likely make up 90%+ of Americas sales, and 50%+ of European sales.
