The only thing I can see is that once again a couple of football games are in the top 10.

I'm not sure if there is any insight to be had, as the rest of the titles seem to be all over the map.

I thought so too, I don't think they have their figures right. I still can't believe cars is number 2 but I guess that's because it was on every console and handheld biggrin.gif

Interesting how these lists never seem to agree with each other. The last one of these I saw had several "Sims" games in the top 10.

These lists have to be wrong. I know gears sold way more than what they say, and RB6 Vegas is a definite top 5 title.
