Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare DS

In the PS2 era, five games topped 10m units for PS2, and two games topped 10m for GBA. Over the entirety of the 1990s, about the same number of games topped 10m. The figures don't change if you look for multi-platform hits either. Capcom's original Street Fighter II sold about 8m in the 1990s as a multi-platform game, Need for Speed and Madden routinely reached 6-9m units in the PS2 era (Madden still sells about the same amount as in the PS2 era most of the time), but nothing else was particularly close to reliably reaching 10m units or more.

As of posting, the auction has only one bid for roughly $60 US, but five days still remain before it ends.

Last week when NPD released its December 2009 US sales numbers, it declared that three of the 10 games of all time were from the Call of Duty franchise. Today, the industry-research firm released its list of top 10 domestic non-PC games to date, which reconfirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was the fourth best seller of all time. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare came in seventh place, followed by Call of Duty: World at War in ninth. Don't call it a comeback--it's been here for years. Unfortunately, NPD's number-one best-selling software game is a game many people don't consider a game at all. The Wii Remote pack-in minigames compilation Wii Play is now the top-selling software game product of all time in the United States, beating out Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (second) and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (third).
