Madden NFL 07 for the Sony PlayStation 2 was the best-selling US game last year, shifting more than 1.8 million copies -- but it also sold an impressive 826,000+ on the Xbox 360, according to a Top 10 table published by USA Today.
New Super Mario Bros for the Nintendo DS also extremely sold well, taking second place with 1.5 million+ units. Two DS games made the top 10, but no PlayStation Portable games.
However, the USA Today article concentrates on Gears of War, which was only released on Xbox 360 in November and shifted more than a million units -- even outselling Final Fantasy XII for the PS2. And as the side-bar explains, it was thought up while Epic Games lead designer Cliff Bleszinski was looking over the city of London from the top of St Paul's Cathedral.
