The following is a list of the top selling video games of 2009 according to NPD:
1. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 by Activision sold 11.86 million copies overall, with 8.82 million sold in the US, 237.5 thousand sold in Japan and 2.8 million sold in the UK.
2. Wii Sports Resort by Nintendo sold 7.57 million copies overall, 4.54 million in the US, 1.54 million in Japan and 1.49 million sold in the UK.
3. New super Mario Bros for the Wii by Nintendo sold 7.41 million copies. 4.23 million of these were sold in the US, 2.49 million in Japan and 687.3 thousand were sold in the UK.
4. Wii Fit Plus by Nintendo (..again) sold 5.8 million copies, with 3.53 millions of those selling in the US, 1.3 million in Japan and 968.3 thousand in the UK.
5. Finally, the Wii Fit sold 5.44 million copies, 3.6 million sold in US, 588.3k sold in Japan and 1.25 million sold in the UK.
These figures surprise me a little, as I only know one person who owns Wii Fit! Despite the Wii Craze sweeping my local area when it was first released. On the other hand, Call of Duty being at the top was to be expected. I'll post when statistics for the first quarter of 2010 are released, it'll be interesting to see if the gaming industry in the UK rises as we saw a slight decline last year.
Til' Next Time,
