As seen below is the list of highest sold games in America during 2006, and Kingdom Hearts 2 has ranked at around 3rd place on the list.

Remember people, this is the American list, not the Japanese, so wouldn’t it make more sense to release every Kingdom Hearts title to the country which makes more sales? Well, thats just a fact. The only titles that surpassed Kingdom Hearts 2 (by a miniscule amount) are Madden NFL 2007 and New Super Mario Bros. Which is still an extremely amazing feat.

1. Madden NFL 07 (PS2; 1.8 million+ sold)
2. New Super Mario Bros. (DS; 1.5 million+ sold)
3. Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2; 1.5 million+ sold)
4. Gears of War (Xbox 360; 1 million+ sold)
5. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (Xbox 360; 913,000+ sold)
6. Final Fantasy 12 (PS2; 895,000+ sold)
7. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (PS2; 860,000+ sold)
8. NCAA Football 07 (PS2; 849,000+ sold)
9. Madden NFL 07 (Xbox 360; 826,000+ sold)
10. Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! (DS; 792,000+ sold)

The Spike TV Video Games Awards were held last night in Los Angeles, with Kingdom Hearts 2 and Rachel Leigh Cook in particular taking home one award.

Rachel Leigh Cook won the award for ‘Best Supporting Female Performance’ for her role as Tifa in everyone’s favourite, Kingdom Hearts 2. While far from the biggest award of the evening, Rachel was able to beat out performances from Elisha Cuthbert (24), Brittany Murphy (Getting Up) and Lynda Carter (Oblivion).

Unfortunately, the only other award Kingdom Hearts 2 was nominated for was, at the end of the day, a no-go, with Best RPG being won by Oblivion. All the other games nominated for the award were by Square, and it would have been good to see a victory from any of them (particularly after the large support for Final Fantasy 12), but alas, American games once again come out the victor at American awards ceremonies.

Hopefully we’ll see more support from Kingdom Hearts in any other coming awards ceremonies where it sees a nomination – with Final Mix+ on the way we can only hope!
