lol, charts
Wondering what the best selling games since 1995 have been? Well, the NPD has your curiousity covered, since that’s about where their numbers start. Here is the list of the top 10 best selling games since then, as per Industry Gamers.
There’s a couple of notes to keep in mind before reading on. These titles include all SKUs as one entry, so multiplatform releases are lumped together. Also, they do not include system pack-ins or PC titles at all. That said, enjoy the list below!
1. Wii Play – Nintendo
2. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock – Activision
3. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – Take 2
4. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – Activision
5. Wii Fit – Nintendo
6. Mario Kart w/ Wheel – Nintendo
7. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – Activision
8. Madden NFL 07 – EA
9. Call of Duty: World at War – Activision
10. Namco Museum – Namco Bandai
Activision is the leader on this list, with four entries total. Nintendo clocks in next with three, leaving a tie for the final three spots with Take 2, EA and Namco Bandai respectively.
It would be interesting to see where blockbuster PC franchises stack up against this list, since it excludes juggernauts such as World of Warcraft and The Sims. Either way, most of these titles were released relatively recently, highlighting the growth of the industry when compared to years passed by.
