Of course, some easy picks like Pokemon Diamond & Pearl and Brain Age 2 populate the list, but where is the love for some other great DS games? Phantom Hourglass at the 23rd spot? For shame. 1.2 million copies of High School Musical: Makin' the Cut sold and Drawn to Life only selling 820,000 copies? For shame.
In all, it's an interesting list that you should take a look at.

Very shameful list, but it makes sense all those little girls buying Hannah Montana games and little boys buying TMNT games...
I was glad Call of Duty 4 was on top though.

At least the best game of 2007 (according to metacritic, don't flame me) got..... ninth. Well, that's not too bad, what did it lose to?
*looks at spot #6*
Oh.... oh dear GOD.

Wow, that's A LOT of grade-schoolers, confused grandparents, soccer moms, and frat boys.

Good Job of misleading gamers by NOT counting sales in Japan, where the Xbox 360 is shunned.
If you count Japanese sales then Pokemon Diamond and Pearl wins with over 14 million copies sold (sales until December 2007 per Wikipedia [yes, I know it's Wikipedia]).
This crushes the top spot holder of Call of Duty 4's 8.3 million. Since Next Generation only counted U.S. & European sales, the Xbox 360 title won. If you count Japanese sales, the Xbox 360 titles will not increase hardly at all, but all other system's titles will increase significantly.
There are lies, damn lies, then there are ...
Peace.

Why isn't Smash Bros Brawl on that list? Hasn't it sold over a million and a half copies or something like that?
