Damn Guitar Hero is really that popular??? I don't like that game. I expected some names of big games here but not this but well stats are stats and you can't change that.

Yes they are. I have heard that GH is best selling few months ago from one of my friend there and he used to tell me how much craze that game got there. I was like WTF!!!. :-D

Neil Patrick Harris said (at Spike VGA awards) that the first weeks sales figures of Black Ops was more than any form of entertainment media being sold in it's first week. It was even greater than AVATAR and The Dark Knight's sales put together, in their first week. :blink:

Yeah I think its kinda biased because 5 out of 10 are from Activision. Man I recently heard that FIFA 11 was damn popular in USA what about that where is that on the list.

Play all of them. I haven't played any Wii titles (But, I'm sure that they are very good), But played rest of them . All were good games. IMO, Black ops is the least good game in the list.

Can't say about others but the top game isn't good for me. I played that and didn't liked that. Personal choices but I seriously think that there should have been bigger names in the list and also FIFA 11 because AFAIK that was GOTY in USA.

Guitar Hero is a gem. It is the first game in the history to cross 1 billion mark worldwide. And we should remember.. there were only 2 games prior to GH3. And by the time GH3 game out, the series was only 2 years old. And GH1, GH2 were only released for PS2 (though GH2 came out on Xbox 360 later). So, it is not as popular as CoD at the time of GH3 release.

^^ Well if you say so. Will try again when I'll go to my friend's house. May be it was first expression and my first expressions are some some reason are really bad. When I got my Fallout 3 and played it first time didn't liked it and uninstalled after 30 min then I saw some reviews and that it is GOTY so started it again and after 2hrs it was damn good and it took 110 hrs of my life.
