* I did not include Kinect: Adventures since every copy was bought with the Kinect Sensor. It would give the illusion that it has more selling power than it does. Don't argue with me...Deal with it. If you can't handle it, just imagine that it's up there to make you feel better.

I found it particularly interesting that open-world games were so big. They consist of half of the top eight games!

Any other interesting notices? What 2012 games will make this list?

Vgchartz really need to adjust GOW3 up, it should be past 5 million. I am happy that Resident Evil 5 did so well, best selling game in the franchise.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

yes...its more interesting to compare unique ips. Why waste five spots for cod when they'll only represent one title?
