Nintendo Reveals 2010's Million Sellers

Nintendo has revealed the self-published Wii and DS games that sold over a million during 2010. In the latest detailed business breakdown, the company confirmed its best-selling home console and portable releases over the last year. These included games it published for other developers in Western territories, such as Dragon Quest IX and Professor Layton entries, hence their respective sales may look lower than expected due to the lack of Japanese sale figures being included.

Check out the list of top selling titles below, and note how Metroid: Other M was sadly unable to crack the worldwide million mark. Total lifetime sale figures are provided where available:
