The full list, published by CNBC, shows Activision in a dominant position, occupying five out the ten top spots. Nonetheless, Guitar Hero III brought in $830.9 million in revenue for Activision in North American first-hand retail alone.Ĭall of Duty: Black Ops sits at second on $787.4 million, but that title is still very much on sale, and may outperform Warriors of Rock before too long. The list considers revenue, not profit, and includes the various bundles of Guitar Hero III which came with a guitar, bumping up the price considerably. A chart of the highest-grossing titles at US retail compiled by NPD has put Guitar Hero III in first place, outperforming Black Ops, Modern Warfare 2 and Wii Fit.
