Grand Theft Auto IV unsurprisingly sits at the top of the pile for worldwide sales in 2008, shifting a whopping 6.29 million copies since the beginning of the year.
Over 1.5 million of those were in the UK alone, but no breakdown was given in terms of a 360/PS3 split. Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii sits in second place on 5.43 million units, Mario Kart is in third with 4.7 million, Wii Fit takes fourth with 3.6 million, and GHIII managing an outstanding 3.48 million sales.
The reports were culled from leading analysts such as Chart Track in the UK, Enterbrain in Japan, GFK in Europe and NPD in the US, representing the most accurate forecast of global sales available.
Keep it up Rockstar.

It'll top out way above that level, DLC and PC version will boost sales futher also.

So rockstar but gta4 lack what gta went for in the past. I mean you down graded from the last game, your supost to add each time. And with this being the first next gen game of its kind, it was the biggest disapointment. No moding cars with changing color or adding rims, you can't buy anything but cloths and food. there isn't anything to do after you beat the game, nothing. There was a lot more that could have been added to the bluray to keep the game going. But nooooo, you wanted to keep it the same as all the rest of the sorry dev's and leave us with 40gigs of free space on our bluray. I'll have to think about it before I buy the next gta.

Hmm, I assume that the next GTA project will probably launch ... late 2009? (Remember Vice City launching only 1 year after III...) A shame that IV wasn't as innovative as I had envisioned. >_>

why MGS4 not on that list it should have been tied or just under Wii fit. i gotta say gtaIV was a let down to me it was that bad i didn't finish the game. i only got it to play online and that wanst all that either. RS let the ball slip by going multiplat so soon they left a ton of stuff out from the past gta. gta SA had way more cars then gta IV the graphics wasent all that and the game play was ok. but ppl say assassin creed was corny because it was just jumping on buildings and sward play but AC is as gud as gta IV since its nuttin but killing ppl and stealing cars

@psycho_mantis... just because you're ten years old and not allowed by your parents to play gta doesn't mean you should rag on it.

It wasn't a bad game, it just lack alot of things. They made it more real but left out alot of stuff to keep it going. once you beat it it doesn't get cut back on... and i'm not talking about multi player because everyone don't go online. And gta is not a game I can go online like every other game. With a map that big they could have let 100 people on it easy.

GTA IV was alright and I'm not surprised at all that they made the most money of all video games. That game is very hyped but the next one might not be so much after this game.
