We continue with yesterday’s crazy sales figures with news that Wii Play is the top-selling game in the USA in the last 14 years.

Yes, when you thought we would stop bombarding you with sales figures and big numbers, we’ve got one last bit of boring marketplace info to mull over. Industry research group NPD, which tracks video game and hardware sales in Americaland, have released a list of the top-selling video games ‘of all time’. By ‘of all time’ they mean as far back as 1995 as no accurate sales data is available before then. Still, people are spending more and more on games as the years go by, so these figures are probably a good indication of the biggest money-spinners the industry has ever produced.

Wii Play topping out the list should come as a surprise to no-one. The mini-game compilation was available a little bit later than the Wii’s launch in the USA, but the fact it came bundled with a Remote almost guaranteed that every new adopter of a Wii console would have picked up a copy at that happy moment at the sales register. The title has since sold 11.1 million copies in the United States alone – more than the entire population of Belgium. Wii Play managed to beat out Activision’s mega money spinner Guitar Hero III and was joined by other popular Wii titles Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii, Call of Duty: World at War and the combined various releases in the Namco Museum series.

Here’s the full list:

1. Wii Play (Wii)
2. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360)
3. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2, Xbox)
4. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3, Xbox 360)
5. Wii Fit (Wii)
6. Mario Kart Wii (Wii)

8. Madden NFL 07 (PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox, PS2, PSP, DS, GC, GBA, Wii)
9. Call of Duty: World at War (PS3, Xbox 360, DS, Wii)
