NPD data reveals Nintendo's single format title as the biggest selling game in 2008 even when compared to multi-format releases.
MTV Multiplayer and the NPD Group has put together a new list of the best-selling games of 2008 in the US, now combining unit sales of multi-format titles into one entity.
The previously reported list had Wii Play in first place with 5.28 million units sold, followed by Mario Kart Wii, but the combined sales chart paints a different picture. Wii Play does, however, remain top. Not even the combined might of Madden NFL 09, totalling 11 versions, could topple it, managing 5.25 million units. In third place is GTA 4, which sold a combined 5.22 million units (5.18 million on Xbox 360/PS3 and 40,000 on PC).
Mario Kart Wii is bumped down to No.4 with sales of five million units, and Call of Duty: World at War is at No.5 with a combined tally of 4.63 million units.
