The year’s sales totals through November are in, thanks to Media Create. Pokémon Black and White combined to take top honors, selling nearly 4.5 million units, trailed closely by New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which inched past the 4 million mark. Final Fantasy XIII for the PlayStation 3 came in at a distant third, just shy of selling 2 million units.
It’s been pointed out that since the numbers after the break run only through November, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd does not appear due to it not being released a day (or more) sooner. Taking its sales of over 3 million units into account, it would easily slide into 3rd on this list.
You can view the top 30 list after the break, with each title accompanied by its year-to-date sales. Lifetime sales for games released prior to 2010 are listed in parenthesis.
