Completely pwned by Nintendo; GTA4 the only non Nintendo-system titles to get in there.

1. Wii Fit - Wii
2. Wii Play - Wii
3. Mario Kart - Wii
4. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games - Wii
5. Grand Theft Auto IV - PlayStation 3
6. Grand Theft Auto IV - Xbox 360
7. Dr Kawashima's Brain Training - Nintendo DS
8. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games - Nintendo DS
9. Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Wii
10. Big Beach Sports - Wii

The only thing there I'm surprised about is that PS3 sold more GTA4 than Xbox 360!

I've never even heard of "Big Beach Sports"

big beach sports was totally appalling

it really sux that s*** like that can be put out (and bought up) for the wii

its a collection of "mini Games"

soccer, shocking
cricket, disgraceful
frisbee, ok
bocchi, fun
gridiron, a joke
volleyball, fun for about 5 minutes

the wii controller obviously can be put to good use (ie wii sports)
its a shame that other developers are just making cheap bad s*** to cash in on it, rather than making good use of a great controller

I must be getting old, none of those games appeal to me

+1

I'd take it further and say that consoles don't appeal to me whatsoever.

I'm a bit of a console convert at the moment.

I'm sick to death of FPS which the PC really dominates in, but consoles have a nice variety of other game styles which I've been getting down with.

Add me to the list fellas. Played none of those games and not about to. PC online games for me, WoW excluded.

Doesn't matter to me. None of those games are in my 2008 top ten. Maybe gta4 by default.

1. Left 4 dead
2. mgs4
3. Company of heroes (even though it didn't come out in 08 it still gets played more than any other game I have).
4. Burnout Paradise
5. None
10. gta4
Raider

I"m shocked that the top 10 are games I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot x-pole.

I guess the family games have overtaken the sales of the hardcore gaming nerd. Good for the industry I guess, finance wise.

I guess if you have a Wii there aren't many good games to get, so naturally they will sell good numbers.

This doesn't make sense, but I don't think it was meant to.
