After researching the million-selling games available for PlayStation 3, I thought it only fair to follow that up with the Xbox 360’s million-sellers. Listed here are all of the Xbox 360 games that have to date sold over one million copies worldwide, based on the latest and greatest information I had available. Likewise with the PS3 list, there are some games (like Madden 09) that I could not find current numbers on, but we all know Madden 09 sold more than a million copies (EA says they sold 4.5 million) and would likely be higher on this list.

After publishing my LittleBigPlanet story about sales numbers, in which I mentioned the million-sellers for PS3 and Xbox 360, I have since seen some ripples in the gaming community wondering what these million-selling games are. So I used the various tools and information from NPD and sites like Chart-Track to compile this list of PS3 games with worldwide sales over one million units, as accurate as I could make it with the latest information I had.

Games listed in order of sales (in millions):

1. Grand Theft Auto IV, Take-Two Interactive — 4.8
2. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Activision — 3.7
3. Motorstorm, Sony Computer Entertainment — 3.6
4. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Konami — 3.4
5. Resistance: Fall of Man, Sony Computer Entertainment — 3.2
6. Assassin’s Creed, Ubisoft — 2.9
7. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Sony Computer Entertainment — 2.2
8. Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Sony Computer Entertainment– 1.9
9. Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, Konami — 1.6
10. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, RedOctane — 1.6
11. FIFA 08, Electronic Arts — 1.6
12. Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Sony Computer Entertainment — 1.4
13. Need for Speed: ProStreet, Electronic Arts — 1.4
14. Devil May Cry 4, Capcom — 1.3
15. Heavenly Sword, Sony Computer Entertainment — 1.2
16. FIFA 09, Electronic Arts — 1.1
17. WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008, THQ — 1.0

Hope that helps.

Notice: There are other titles, such as Madden 09, that I could not find solid numbers on, but Wikipedia lists total sales across all platforms at 4.5 million, so one could assume it sold at least a million on PS3.
