SOCOM is getting pretty close to 1 million. Give it a few weeks. Uncharted 2 should hit 2 million in a week or two. Ratchet should reach 1 million by January and the God of War Collection could reach a million sometime early next year.

I'm surprised I have not seen a list of exclusive 1 million+ sellers. Here is a list for the PS3 and the 360. Tell me if I forgot anything.

The fight for the 1 million seller is very interesting between the X360 and the Wii. The 2 consoles each earned 4 new million seller this week.

The X360 currently have 11 titles that are above 900k but that didnt reached 1 million yet while the Wii have 15.

PS3 only have 6.

Well looking at it is hard to determine who has the edge going into the future.  Only thing holding Wii back is not getting as many big name titles a year as that of the 360 or PS3 for that  matter.  If Wii got as many big name brand titles as they did, it would have well over a 100 million sellers by now.  But becuase of the lack of those, it has to deal with a lot of titles that get "in store" recognition and competent marketing campaigns (which they hardly see) to achieve such success.

So looking to the future, I would want to say 360 has the edge but its hard to deny Wii's userbase which will continue to expand at much larger rates than the 360.  So hard to tell but we'll see. 



big week

Agreed, that's why it will be a very interesting race because I have no clue who will win this category. My guess is that the Wii might win but it will take another year, maybe not until sometime in early to mid 2011.

@atma

PS3 has only 6 titles about 900k, but has a strong start to 2010 with at least 4 exclusive million sellers.

Of course, the Wii360 battles is more exciting ;) .



Update:

I added a new 20 million seller section to the table to celebrate the 20 million mark reached by New Super Mario Bros. (DS).

Also new games added for this week are: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (X360) and Saints Row (X360) to the 2 million section and The Simpsons Game (X360) and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 2 (PSP) to the 1 million section.



The 20 million section was an agreement I made with Toddifer and Paul a couple months ago about NSMB (DS) reaching 20 million if people are asking why I added it now.



Thanks for adding the 20 million section...I think it adds something to the table. It highlights the 'mega' releases. It's kind of a remarkable feat, really that within a month or so, all of Wii's 10 million selling games will also be 20 million selling games. It also appears that Super Smash Bros will be hitting the 10 million mark as well (though that'll take a good while longer), which I didn't initially think it would cross...



Bah!

No problem. I could also put some other stats eventually beside this table like percentage and things like that. I'm open to all suggestion.  As for SSBB reaching 10 million it will probably happen sometime around the end of summer 2010 imo.
