Best-Selling Video Games of 2008

The top 100 on Amazon UK that year.

A definitive look back at the 2008 Amazon UK chart. Click any cover to find it on Amazon.

Wii dominance reaches its peak: the Nintendo Wii Console tops the chart, and the next several places are all Wii — Mario Kart with Wii Wheel, the Nunchuk, Wii Fit with Balance Board and Wii Play. Fitness is the new pattern, with Wii Fit driving an entire accessory economy. The hardcore reasserts itself mid-list, with Grand Theft Auto IV charting on both Xbox 360 and PS3 and Call of Duty: World at War close behind. Surprises include the Venom Light Blaster Gun and Carnival: Fun Fair Games leaning into casual gimmickry, while Super Smash Bros. Brawl flies the flag for fans. The seventh generation at its most mainstream.
