Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock generated the most revenue in US video game history. According the NPD Group Guitar Hero 3 made $830.9 million in sales. That number doesn't include profits generated from DLC. Despite those numbers Activison decided to cancel all GH titles for 2011. Keep reading to see the complete list of the top 10 best selling games.
NEWS: Activision Drops Next Guitar Hero Game
This list is from the NPD, they've only been monitoring game data since 1995 which is why Super Mario Bros. 3 is absent from the list. Activision however has five titles in the top 10.
- Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock* $830.9 million
- Call of Duty: Black Ops $787.4 million
- Wii Fit (w/ Balance Board) $736.6 million
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 $713.6 million
- Rock Band*$670.7 million
- Wii Play (w/ Wii Remote)
- Guitar Hero World Tour*
- Wii Fit Plus
- Mario Kart Wii (w/ Wii Wheel)
- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Do any of these games surprise you? I still find it hard to accept Wii Fit Plus made the list.

Don't forget that is what was sold to dealers and retailers. NOT sold to customers.

@ chillgentleman
It's all about the install base in the US.
Wii 41.1m
360 31m
PS3 19.2m
That's why the combined sales of the 360 and PS3 (50.2m) top the list.

OMG G4 please fix your god damn profanity sensors. either make them more lenient or at least have the tell me watch to change, because they always tell me i cant post, and ive fixed every single word that can even be considered a swear word in any way shape or form and it still tells me to fix it. and when i have a long post and that pops up, idk what to even change.
worst is, is that it doesnt even block things like god damn. its just so freaking annoying!

Most surprising for me is no exclusive PS3 or Xbox 360 game is on that list, but there are 4 Wii exclusives. No God of War, Gears of War, Infamous, Uncharted, Halo, etc.

The only reason Wii Play is up there is cause all the baddies that got a Wii just wanted a 2nd Wii remote they would never use after two weeks. The same thing with the Balance Board and Wii Fit Plus. "Oh gosh I've got to have cause it's so new and in right now." Just to be put in a corner/closet covered in dust.

Thats really to bad because that game sucked.

Funny part is as weak as Wii Play is, it's both better and more deserving than any of the CoD's up there. Make a list of all the worst games and CoD will also take all the top spots.

Now, this isn't a way to rate games. Considering that some games are multi-platform, have SEs or LEs, and some were brought out during times where money was scarce, this can't be right. I'm also guessing that some of those games include the price of their bundled peripherals and other such items. This certainly would bump up the price, would it not?
This is why "copies sold" is the better way to measure the true success of games. While I do realize this would be counting in the cross-platform titles, its better than measuring in money, which is very, very relative.
