Even though Call of Duty: Black Ops is the top selling game of all-time, it has yet to surpass Guitar Hero 3 in revenue, thanks in part to guitar peripheral sold with copies of the game.
CNBC found the stat by digging through data from market research firm NPD Group. Here is a list of the top 10 grossing games since 1995:
- Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock $830.9 million
- Call of Duty: Black Ops $787.4 million
- Wii Fit (Including Balance Board) $736.6 million
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 $713.6 million
- Rock Band $670.7 million
- Wii Play (Including Wii Remote)
- Guitar Hero World Tour
- Wii Fit Plus
- Mario Kart Wii (Including Wii Wheel)
- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
