Gamasutra released its sailing around the world article. The article based on info from Amazon and other retailers show which games are selling best around the world. As many know Kinect made the number one spot in North America but Nintendo titles were everywhere. Nintendo dominated North America but also had a great presence in all three regions.
Multiplatform
North America: 1. Kinect Sensor with Kinect Adventures (Microsoft, X360), 2. Just Dance 2 (Ubisoft, Wii), 3. Donkey Kong Country Returns (Nintendo, Wii), 4. Epic Mickey (Disney, Wii), 5. Call of Duty: Black Ops (Activision, X360).
Japan: 1. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (Capcom, PSP), 2. Wii Party (Nintendo, Wii), 3. Donkey Kong Returns (Nintendo, Wii), 4. Gundam Musou 3 (Koei, PS3), 5. Ninokuni: Shikkoku no Madoushi (Level 5, DS).
UK: 1. Just Dance 2 (Ubisoft, Wii), 2. Call of Duty: Black Ops (Activision, X360), 3. Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo, Wii), 4. Donkey Kong Country Returns (Nintendo, Wii), 5. Call of Duty: Black Ops (Activision, PS3).
In all three regions Nintendo console titles accounted for 3 of the five titles. Nintendo has proven that its software can hold its own against the Move and other then North America, Kinect is also being held at bay.
Are you impressed by Nintendo's performance? Also the fact that Epic Mickey and JustDance2 both made the list shows that third parties are still finding success on Wii as well. Do you think this will encourage more third party support?
