With only two weeks left in the year, the NPD Group has released its list of the top 10 best-selling games at US retailers for 2009…so far. As of November 30, the biggest game product, or SKU, was the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 with 4.2 million units. The PlayStation 3 edition of the record-shattering Activision game also made the list, landing in eighth with 1.9 million units.

　　Modern Warfare 2 was #1, but Nintendo dominated the top 10 chart.

　　Besides Activision, the only other third-party publisher to make the list was Electronic Arts with Madden NFL 10, which landed in ninth with 1.5 million units. Though Sony was shut out, Microsoft made the list with sixth-place finisher Halo 3: ODST and its 2 million units.

　　The rest of the 2009 chart entries were from one company--Nintendo. The Mario Factory churned out an assembly line of hits this year, including Wii MotionPlus pack-in Wii Sports Resort (third, 2.4 million), the DS hit Pokemon Platinum (seventh, 1.9 million units), and New Super Mario Bros. Wii (10th, 1.4 million).

　　That said, Nintendo's most popular game of 2009, Wii Fit, was actually released in April 2008. The balance board pack-in came in second 3.5 million units, two slots ahead of another game from last year, Mario Kart Wii (2.2 million units). Right behind it in fifth place was Wii Play (2.1 million units), the minigame Wii Remote pack-in, which has been a fixture on best-seller charts since its release in February 2007.
