Top 25 selling videogames of all time

Quote

err its wrong because if you take the pokemon games they compilled the units sold not by single game but series... ex. pokemon blue+red+green..

Thank you, internet.

So um where is half-life on this list..........

Last I checked, HL was up at 7 million copies total, and HL2 at 4.5.

There are however other games I would have thought to score better. Including at least one Zelda game....

Pokemon Green?

i find this very offensive to all the excellent games with good ratings that werent put on the chart. it's a shame that marketing and franchise still plays such a huge role when a rich game should do just that. then again, there's a reason why the money charts are few and far inbetween, and thank * for that.

i mean seriously, look at it: all the pokemon games are there, most of the marios and that it.

Interesting, but not surprising. Didn't think Starcraft would have beaten Wow.

4. NintendogsNintendo DS - 14.75 Million Copies Sold

What the hell... Really unbeleavable...

1/That game suck as hell.

2/It's a quite new game, for a new console...

released in Japan on April 21, 2005, and was later released in North America and Singapore on August 22, 2005.

In two years O_O... More than Super Mario Land on GameBoy in 18 years !

Really strange.

(I don't understand japanese ppl)

I was kinda surprised that WOW wasn't placed higher

WoW has ~9 million active accounts atm. If these sales numbers are correct, then all who have ever bought WoW would still be paying each month - I highly doubt this.

Not that surprising when you consider the sales numbers of the DS. I've never played Nintendogs myself, but I can imagine it's high on that list for the same reasons Brainage is. And I wouldn't say it's just the Japanese buying it, as far as I know it sold pretty strong in NA/Europe as well.

Nintendogs was a launch title for the DS, wasn't it? Which has done stupidly well in Japan.

But that list looks extremely wrong, where are the sports games? Why is this on a website about guns?

Everyone knows Madden doesn't count anymore.

Big ups to Rockstar North for having all the GTA3s on the list

Where the hell is Deer Hunter and Myst? This is just another attention whoring top list of fanboyism.

(better)

PlayStation 3

PlayStation 3 games that have sold one million copies or more.

* Resistance: Fall of Man (2 million)[99]

* MotorStorm (1 million)[100]

lol - that's the whole list.

No surprise that 'The Sims' is at the top.. :roll:

Quote from FrieChamp

Yea Nintedogs was the biggest surprise to me in that list. I mean 14.75 million

Nintendogs seems to be a convenient solution to all parents who don't want to clean dogs hairs off the carpet.

But it's funny to see that the videogame best sellers are actually a lot of games for girls : pokemon, the sims, nintendogs. Actually what i think, is that girls :

- Usually don't pirate games.

- Play less games than boys (in number of hours), that imply that the choice of videogames for girls is less important.

So when girls buy a game, they all buy the same game, this not means they will play it alot, but they had bought it . I mean when you have a whole lot of different FPS, girls have only one game about puppies, and i think this is why the sims are still up there .

And hey, they are more numerous than us testosterone powered living beings. There's a big market out there
