In a great analysis article, Gamasutra has published a list of the top ten selling games in the US for the period of January to September 2010, according to numbers supplied by research firm NPD.

Unsurprisingly, titles appearing on Nintendo’s Wii and DS consoles are peppered throughout the list, while Microsoft and Bungie’s Halo: Reach snags the top spot on the chart.

As Gamasutra notes, however, those legendary ‘evergreen’ titles (such as Wii Fit and Just Dance) on the Wii and DS are more than capable of overtaking new releases such as Halo: Reach, as they accumulate sales over time rather than explode onto the market.

Get the list of top-selling games for the period of January to September 2010 in the US below:

• 1.) (Xbox 360) Halo: Reach
• 2.) (Wii) New Super Mario Bros. Wii
• 3.) (Xbox 360) Red Dead Redemption
• 4.) (Nintendo DS)Pokemon Soul Silver Version
• 5.) (Wii) Super Mario Galaxy 2
• 6.) (Wii) Wii Fit Plus (with Balance Board)
• 7.) (PS3) God of War III
• 8.) (Xbox 360) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
• 9.) (Wii) Just Dance
