Best Selling Games of 2010 So Far

[JurassicBonez]

We've hit the halfway point of 2010, and it looks as though Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption is going to be the best selling game this year in the U.S. if things don't change dramatically.

Posted below are two groups of console game unit sales ranked from January 2010 to June 2010, provided by research firm NPD. The first is a look at the top ten individual console sales. The second is the top five sales when multiplatform games are combined. (Note: Unit sales figures could not be published)

Some things to note:

- Modern Warfare 2 is still outselling Bad Company 2, even though the title was released in November of 2009. Bad Company 2 launched in March 2010.

- Wii dominates individual sales with five titles in the top ten.

- Mass Effect 2, considered one of this year's best titles, did not chart in the top ten.

Halo Reach will probably squash them all.

Red Dead is immense for the story.

Parts of Loved About Red Dead:
- Get to Hogtie a chick and put her on train tracks
- Big Ass Grizzley Bears, things scared the crap out of me.

the only thing that kinda sucked was the online thing, I don't know how to play online....all it does is load and there's some circle things and then it loads again.

Halo Reach will probably squash them all.

Black Ops will rape Halo Reach.

we'll see...

1. Halo 3 (8.1 million)[24]
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (7.479 million approximately; 6.471 million in US,[25][26][27][28] 85,411 in Japan,[29][verification needed] at least 1 million in UK)[30]

I found that game hilarious.

Too bad it was painfully awful too.

I never played it me and my friends just mainly joked about how messed up the whole concept of it was haha.

Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops are both multi-platform. Hell, MW2 alone on the 360 all most trumped Halo 3.

Edit: I don't know where you got your sources but according to vgchartz, MW2 is at 11.23 million(360) and 8.24million(PS3). Halo 3 is at 11.07 million. Honestly I really don't believe the numbers are those high but maybe one or two million off. maybe, this site does track video games sales and makes corrections. either way combined sales destroy Halo 3.
