And if American football, unabashedly violent, is also a combat simulation, then really one genre dominates the top 10 list that Forbes asked NPD to put together: the best selling home video games of all time, in units sold, in the United States. NPD's data goes back to 1989, so this does not include units sold before them.
The top all-time U.S. sellers, in order (since 1989):
• Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
• Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock
• Madden NFL 07
• Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
• Madden NFL 06
• Halo 2
• Madden NFL 08
• Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
• Grand Theft Auto 3
• Madden NFL 2005
