• Games are ranked according to our estimate of their sales to consumers from launch-date up until Dec 31st 2008. We only count sales in North America and Europe NOT Japan, Asia or anywhere else.
• When two games have sold very similar amounts, the one on the fewest platforms ranks highest. If still tied, the one available for the least time ranks highest.
•Review score is for the highest-scoring platform. Average scores courtesy of GameRankings. Quotes taken from GameRankings and MetaCritic.
• Portable versions of games have been included, even when the name and style of the game differs slightly from the console versions.
•Sales do not include mobile phone versions or download-sales or bundles.
