We’ve already found out which were the best games of 2008, as well as the most disappointing ones, but these stats don’t matter that much for publishers: the most important thing in the industry, from a publisher’s point of view is how well the game sold. And finally, today we have that list and I can tell you right now that Rockstar and Take Two should be extremely happy, as well as Nintendo, Activision and Electronic Arts.

10. Gears of War 2 – 4 million
9. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed – 5 million
8. FIFA 09 – 5 million
7. Madden NFL 09 – 6 million
