I wasn't surprised to see REsident Evil at the top. Though I was surprised that RE3 and RE2 were their highest selling RE games. (pleasantly surprised, mind you. They're my two favorite RE games).

Good to see Dino Crisis was somewhere in the middle. It's a shame that series didn't kick off. The first game was fantastic - Right up there with RE in terms of scares. It's a shame the sequels weren't so good.

Haha, before I clicked on the source I assume Resident Evil sold the most amount of games and I was right yay =D. I'm also surprised to see their best selling game was SF2 =o! ... I'm also surprised to see Megaman at No. 2, I thought those games sucked D=. *gets -5 rating automatically*
