According to Forbes June 2008 article using NPD sales figures, the best selling video games of all-time in the United States since 1989 (when NPD began tracking video games) are:

1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004) - 9.4 million
2. Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock (2007) - 8.2 million
3. Madden NFL 07 (2006) - 7.7 million
4. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) - 7.3 million
5. Madden NFL 06 (2005) - 6.65 million
6. Halo 2 (2004) - 6.61 million
7. Madden NFL 08 (2007) - 6.6 million
8. Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) - 6.25 million
9. Grand Theft Auto 3 (2001) - 6.2 million
10. Madden NFL 2005 (2004) - 6.1 million

The list, current as of April 2008, includes PC games and counts units sold on all platforms. Guitar Hero III is the video game with the most revenue generated due to it's higher cost. Halo 2 is the only game that has appeared on just one console (Xbox), though it was released on PC too. The GTA series, originally exclusive on the PS2, were later ported to the Xbox. Madden takes four of the 10 top spots.

Possible future inclusions

• Grand theft Auto IV
• Halo 3
• Wii Play
• Madden NFL 09
• Call of Duty
• Super Mario Bros. 3 NES (which should be on that list if data really goes back to '89, it's absence suggests only the data only going back to '95)
