The RetroBeat: 2010’s best-selling games show how the industry has changed (or not)

It’s 2020, which means that anything that happened in 2010 is now retro. And since The NPD Group has sent us a list of the best-selling games of each year through the last decade, I thought it would be fun to look at the 10 games that were the best-sellers in the U.S. in 2010.

I know that this may seem like a bit of a random exercise, but I believe that we can learn something by looking at 2010’s biggest hits. It’ll be a fun way to see how far (or how little) the industry has changed in the last 10 years.
