Media Create the video games retail sales tracker has published the best-selling video games in Japan for 2011. I would say that Nintendo software and hardware won 2011 overall.
Its interesting that the Sony PSP Go sold 15,563 units in 2011 while its only managed to sell 175,986 units overall. Compared to the Sony PSP which has sold 2,063,609 units in 2011 and sold 8,553,397 units overall.
Why they even bother making a PSP without a UMD slot? what where they thinking? Did they think there customers wont mind buying the same game twice?

At 70 kg each, that’s 25% of the weight of the Great Pyramid of Giza.” He followed it up with another adding. “At 4 liters per day, it would take a million years to drink 20 million liquidized humans. Just saying. I’ll stop now.” Notch you weirdo.

Steam started another Free Weekend yesterday. You can play Nation Red for free now through to Sunday 15th January, 1 pm Pacific Time.

The following show the sales for the various platforms and overall top-selling video games. Unsurprising Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and two EA games are the top three overall selling video games of 2011 with EA’s and Activision Blizzard domination of the industry and the popularity of Call of Duty. However that’s not a good thing.
Digital sales are not counted, although they will be soon.
