Deus Ex at #47 ARE YOU MAD? (yes I am shouting this) 47th place, Bioshock at #49 and Call of Duty 4 at #1. I guess the ones with short attention spans voted for that one then!

I trust the opinions of Game's customers about as much as I trust Game. Zero.

Yeah when i seen BioShock i near died too. Bear in mind that this was voted on by GAME customers and as an ex-employee I know that while you would expect 90% of the customers to be hardcore gamers ... the reality is far from that. The majority of customers are mums and young kids so the reason for Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games being higher than a game like BioShock doesn't suprise me one bit.

Doesn't mean im happy about it though :( lol

What's more amusing is that Smash Bros Brawl is in the list. It's not even out yet and I doubt Game's customers are the type to import. As with many lists like this I'm guessing Game also made a few adjustments so as to fit certain overstocked titles into their campaign,

@4: lmao didn't even notice that. Well spotted. Yeah i'm suprised Gears 2 and Spore haven't made it onto the list.

I'm sorry but Mario Kart on the wii is really not that great. I'm even surpised it's beat the snes version....instead of judging things by sales why not try to speaking to people who knwo what their talking about...like gamers and developers
