^The numbers to the right represent units sold, and all numbers represent all incarnations of the product line (special editions, DS vs. DS Lite, etc.)

Wii Play, not surprisingly, makes the top 10 for the 19th consecutive month; I personally think we should start counting it as an accessory instead of a game, as it comes with a Wii Remote. What is surprising is how Wii owners seem far less interested in Madden, and how Wii Fit still manages to sell despite no one being able to find it. Mario Kart’s continued popularity gives me joy, and Guitar Hero once again cracks the top 10, proving the strength of the franchise.
