No Pokemon D/P?



Exclusives outside of nintendos are scarce...

Nice list. This has me wondering, what is the best selling game in any one year ever? A Pokemon game? It seems like the selling rate of MK Wii can't really be beat by many other games in history. Wish all the games had full worldwide info so I could compare their graphs.



What about Wii Sports and the Force Unleashed?



Pixel Art can be fun.

Come on put Pokemon D/P on it's 20th place and out side MGS4 it's maybe the best game of this year but please it doesn't sell like everyone expected.

Get it Out MGS4 !



Why should we wonder about MK? I voted for it in that poll earlier, and only by looking at this weeks numbers it should be obvious that it is the best selling game this year.



Currently Playing: Skies of Arcadia Legends (GC), Dragon Quest IV (DS)

Last Game beaten: The Rub Rabbits(DS)

MGS4 sold 3.72 M
