These Were The Best-Selling Games Of 2011 In The U.S.

[Guild McCommunist]

I got Skyrim and that's about it.

Also, funny to see Black Ops on the list when it was released in 2010.

 

[Gahars]

No huge surprises, but I'm glad to see that Batman: Arkham City did so well.

 

[BORTZ]

My friends and I all play BF3. Best game up there. That and Just Dance of course.

 

[Fluto]

I has 6 of those games
Arkham city deserves to be up there,
That, deus Ex and Skyward sword were my favorite of 2011

 

[NES SNES V.B. N64 G.C. Wii WiiU]

football. not the soccer ball it's a ball shaped like a triangal.

"triangal", really? I weep for the future

besides, an american football is shaped more like a rugby football (which is something an aussie could relate to

Yes, a rugby shaped ball is the only post that actually made sense explaining American Football.
Had a look on YouTube, that game makes no sense at all

 

[Jeff88]

Most Americans don't have a really good taste in games... Only good games in that list (imo, that is), are Skyrim, GoW3, Assassins Creed and Batman

Just because other people have different taste, they don't have good taste. Inorite!!

I wrote imo didn't I?

You first said most americans don't have a good taste in games
which is what he is replying to, just because YOU don't think they are good games doesn't mean they aren't good games

i think assassins creed, god of war and batman are shit, doesn't mean i regard people liking them for having shit taste.

 

[DS1]

Just for comparison, the Japanese list (data came from nintendoeverything.com, who probably got it from Famitsu, so take it with a grain of salt maybe, bolded titles are from nintendo consoles, I presume):

1. [PSP] Monster Hunter Portable 3rd – 968,269
2. [DS] Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional – 469,469
3. [PSP] Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy – 454,522
4. [PS3] Dynasty Warriors 6 – 443,873
5. [PS3] Yakuza of the End – 376,193
6. [Wii] Donkey Kong Country Returns – 368,527
7. [PSP] Dai-2-Ji Super Robot Taisen Z Hakai-hen – 364,881
8. [PSP] Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity – 352,511
9. [Wii] Wii Party – 349,951
10. [PSP] SD Gundam G Generation World – 332,278

I can see people getting just as upset over this list. Japan has their own regurgitated crap just like we do, go figure that some people can't get enough of it.

edit: at least they have a little variation though, hahaha... of course that all depends on how they did their numbers - no cross platform games

 

[smile72]

I like the Japanese list more, as I like Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Yakuza, Donkey Kong,Phantasy Star, Super Robot Taisen and Dynasty Warriors.

 

[emigre]

Christ, the Japanese list is just as dire as the US list.

 

[Erdnaxela]

Just dance 2 + just dance 3, wow capcom hurry, milk this more!!

 

[frogboy]

I'll admit, JD3 was pretty good. Better than 2, IMO.

And of course Call of Duty MW3 would be the #1 seller.

 

[Joe88]

just dance is the new guitar hero
milk as much as you can

 

[insidexdeath]

A 360 exclusive made it to the list, that's actually impressive.

I think everyone in Japan would simultaneously have a heart attack if MarioxMonsterHunterxFinalFantasy was announced.
