Best selling game this generation will be................ drumroll please......

Wii Sports 2: Wii Sports Resort, followed by Wiiplay and Wiifit and Mario Kart Wii

I know this is angering as a gamer, but it's reality.

Well, it is bundled with the Motion+, so it will probably move quite a few units. Maybe not the best-selling game this gen (remember, there's still Wii Sports and Wii Play to beat).Cherokee_Jack

Yeah, but Sims 2 didn't suck.

I think the whole Sims thing is over now. Aside from the tight-knit internet modding communities who are still making texture packs for the throw rugs or whatever they do.

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] Eh. Sims 2 didn't top the original.Cherokee_Jack

LOL

It'll hit maybe 4-6 million if they're lucky. 21 million, however, is quite a tall order, and that's the record it will have to break.

SIMS3 doesn't need to top original to be best selling game of the gen

Wii Music should be on that list.BumFluff122

Mario Kart Wii is fine.

The original shipped 16 mil (IIRC). NSMB sold 16.6 million. To my knowledge, that's the best sales this gen without bundling or multiple versions.

You can ignore the top 4 games (and Crossbow Training) because they're all bundled with peripherals or the system itself. The rest aren't too surprising for Nintendo games, especially considering that the Wii is the best-selling system by far and all the games listed are very casual-friendly.

Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Halo/Gears series will be amongst the highest sellers.Guru_G4M3R

highly unlikely

oooo, i'm starting to hate how wii is getting most sales but the games are horrible on that system. it is for casual players like young children and old people.iam2green

Those games are for casuals and old people. The core gamers get their share too.

The scary thing is that Wii Fit, Wii Play and Mario Kart are still finishing at the top of the NPD charts every month.
