Combine the all software sales in Japan, the U.S. and the U.K., and Mario Kart Wii comes out on top with 8.94 million sold, beating Wii Fit in second and the much ballyhooed Grand Theft Auto IV in third with a completely respectable 7.29 million.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl takes fourth with 6.32 million, and the number of core gamers on the Wii rises ever higher.
Any reason why Mario Kart Wii shouldn’t be given 2008 game of the year honors?
Edge, using a series of super secret formulas, back channels and NPD Group moles, has assembled a list of the best-selling video games from the past 12 months.
Dominating the top ten are several EA franchise titles, a Russian guy down on his luck in Liberty City, as well as a number of Nintendo first party titles that include Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and everybody’s favorite floor-level drink coaster, Wii Fit.
Guitar Hero sneaks into the top 10 too, but it’s somewhat of a stretch: Edge has grouped everything that had the GH brand into one entry. I’d be more interested to see how each system panned out individually.
Mym6 of the Infendo Forums is currently experiencing a little problem with his Nintendo Wii and the way Channels Zoom in.
I’m curious if anyone else has noticed this. Some channels will zoom in very slowly. My Mario Kart and Nintendo Channels both zoom in very slowly compared to others. If I move those channels to a blank screen they zoom quickly again.
I haven’t noticed this on my system but I’m wondering if anyone else on Infendo knows of a way to fix it.
