Red Dead Redemption Best Selling Game of 2010 So Far

You heard right. Red Dead has gone from Zero to Hero.

Not many people knew about Red Dead Revolver, and after abysmal scores from crit­ics and sales many people left the fran­chise for dead. It came as such a sur­prise when Rockstar announced a sequel, Redemption, in the works. People were skep­tical about the game. Will it be any good? Will it actu­ally sell? Well its safe to say that all wor­ries were false. The game is one of the highest rated games of 2010 and has sold over 1 mil­lion and a half cop­ies in may alone and adding another 963k from June!

This huge num­ber rock­ets Red Dead Redemption to be the best selling game of the year! New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Modern Warfare 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and Wii Fit round out the top 5.

Red Dead Redemption is out on the PS3 and 360 with 4 DLC packs in devel­op­ment.
