Where's the ps exclusives? I thought they were so good

mario ftw

They all sold more than CoD, so they shot off the top of the list.

call of duty!

Here I thought Minecraft was going to make the list... Unless that isn't a "franchise"

Apparently I'm not the only one who has the denim vest on backwards.

Meh, sales don't represent the quality of the game. A lot of the PS exclusives should have sold a hell of a lot better than they did.

Well it doesn't seem to count PC since I'm not sure how that worked, whether he rented servers or whatever. They didn't post numbers out on PS3, I don't think. Xbox physical is over 4m.

Maybe they are overlooking it because it is indie.
