The Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA) has published a list of the top twenty best-selling titles in the UK for 2009, and (surprise surprise) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is right at the top of the list, followed by another ‘shocking’ entry, Fifa 10, at number two.
Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus and Wii Fit fill out the rest of 2009’s top five best-selling games in the UK, but where do popular titles such as Forza 3, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Resident Evil 5 show up? Head on down below for the answers.
Unfortunately, no specific sales numbers were revealed, but we can put things into perspective with some numbers we do know, such as the 1.7 million units of Modern Warfare 2 that were sold during its first week on sale, the 1.7 million units of Fifa 10 that flooded Europe during its first week on sale, and the 5 million copies of Wii Sports Resort that have invaded Europe since July last year.
Well, those numbers don’t really shed any further light on the sales listing, do they… so let’s just go ahead and enjoy it? Here it is:

Comments:
it's interesting to see that Call of Duty Modern Warfare is sitting at No. 16 even though the game is about 2 years old now
