halo reach gold: halo reach was the 3rd highest selling game of 2010


2010 is over, and as such the NPD has released their figures for best selling games and consoles in 2010.

Halo Reach came in 3rd place on the game sales list. Before you hoot and holler that it should have been #1, keep in mind that Reach was a platform exclusive and did not release until late September. The two games that finished ahead of it (Black Ops and Madden) were both multiplatform games that were able to earn sales from multiple systems, and Madden had a month and a half headstart on Reach to boot. Halo Reach was easily the highest selling exclusive platform game.

The XBox 360 also had its best year to date, selling the most consoles for the last 6 months consecutively. Here is the complete list of the top 10 selling games of 2010.


Call of Duty: Black Ops* (360, PS3, Wii, PC, NDS)
Madden NFL 11 (360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PSP)
Halo: Reach* (360)
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
Red Dead Redemption (360, PS3)
Wii Fit Plus* (Wii)
Just Dance 2 (Wii)
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2* (360, PS3, PC)
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood* (360, PS3)
NBA 2K11 (360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii, PC)

Sorry, I accidentally left off the key for what that means.

All that means is that it takes the combination of regular, collector's edition, and game of the year editions of the game into one number.
