The US' best-selling game of all time: Wii Play

wiiplay_fEvery time you talk about gaming with your friends or in forums, know this little fact: no game has ever sold as well as Wii Play in the US. It's not Final Fantasy VII, not Killzone 2, and it's sure as hell not Modern Warfare 2. I repeat: it's Wii Play.

 

Wii Play has previously made a mark by being the US best-seller of 2009, a mark that it would follow-up with the title of best-seller of the decade. Now, according to the NPD, Wii Play is the best-selling non-PC game in the US ever.

 

The NPD, however, didn't reveal the numbers that propelled the game to the top. It did, however, mention that three of the US' top 10 non-PC games are Call of Duty titles. Modern Warfare 2 is at fourth, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare at seventh, and World at War at ninth place. Here's the list:

 

1) Wii Play (Wii)
2) Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360)
3) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2, Xbox)
4) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3, Xbox 360)
5) Wii Fit (Wii)
6) Mario Kart Wii (Wii)
7) Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (PS3, Xbox 360, DS)
8) Madden NFL 07 (PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox, PS2, PSP, DS, GC, GBA, Wii)
9) Call of Duty: World at War (PS3, Xbox 360, DS, Wii)
10) Namco Museum (DC, GBA, PS2, GC, Xbox, PSP, N64, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP, PS, Xbox 360)

Namco Museum is a surprise.

The reason why Wii Play is such a success is simply because it comes with the remote, after all £5 for the thing isnt that bad.

The only reason it selling at all is because of so the called "free controller" bundled with it.

I bet you that if any of those other games game with a controller they would have sold a hell of a lot more than wii play. Its really not all that good.

Exactly saito - It's not the game its because of the controller. The ONLY reason this is selling is people see it as a cheap addition to their much needed controllers. This is kind of a cheat to being the most sold game in the US dont you think?

# Because of the controllerGuest 2010-01-21 09:24
I bought it ONLY because of the controller. Essentially the game cost $5 after all adjustments. The game is pretty lame. Wait, no, it sucks.

Wii Sports is the best selling game, not Wii Play. Wii Sports comes with EVERY single Wii, that's why.

All you halo fanboys shut the hell up.
Nobody cares what you think about halo.
Just play your God damned game, and mastubate to cortana every time you see her, like normal.
And there is a reason why its not on here, nobody wants to fight apes with jetpacks, with a gun that shoots flying pink needles.
