NPD did not release sales totals for the bottom half of the top 10 chart.
Rounding out the top 10 were Wii Play (sixth), Guitar Hero World Tour (seventh), Wii Fit Plus (eighth), Mario Kart Wii (ninth), and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (10th). The games made $713.6 million and $670.7 million, respectively.
Fourth place was a stand-alone game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, while fifth belonged to Rock Band, which was available a la carte or bundled with a drum set, microphone, and guitar. That's just $43.5 million less than Guitar Hero III, the figure for which was inflated by sales of guitar-controller bundles.Īlso boosted by bundling was the number three game, Nintendo's Wii Fit, which came with the Wii Balance Board. Already the number one best seller by units in US history, with 13.7 million units sold, the Treyarch-developed title has made $787.4 million to date. (The Guitar Hero series has since been put on indefinite hold.)įour years before it was canceled, the Guitar Hero series was the top franchise in the game industry.Ĭoming up fast in the number two slot is last year's smash hit Call of Duty: Black Ops. Riding high atop the charts was Activision's Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, which has minted $830.9 million since its release in 2007.
Today, the industry research firm revealed its all-time top 10 titles by revenue-not unit sales-to financial television network CNBC. Since 1995, the NPD Group has tracked retail sales data in the US market.
