Looks like this years biggest and badest games have been announced and the first place game is no big surprise since it has been one of the hottest titles since RockStar started putting it out there, what i did find a bit shocking is that three of the top five games are not cross platform games but Wii exclusive games. (Who would have guessed that?)


Chart-Track Limited and Enterbrain, Inc. reported the following: “The leading games information sources in the U.S, U.K. and Japan – the largest games markets in the world – have joined forces to provide the gaming industry with a single source for sales data providing detailed insight into what’s happening in these important markets.”

“The video games business has become increasingly global, with the majority of the publishers releasing games in multiple markets,” said Anita Frazier, industry analyst, The NPD Group. “The U.S, as the world’s largest market will be able to view and compare sales for the first time outside of their own market.”
