Re: Ranking of most sold video games?
I found this on the net: http://retailindustry.about.com/od/seg_toys/a/bl_npd012703.htm Annual 2004 Top 10 Video Game Titles Ranked By Units Sold Source: The NPD Group / NPD Funworld / Point-of-Sale RANK - TITLE - PLATFORM - PUBLISHER 1 - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - PS2 - Take II Interactive 2 - Halo 2* - XBX - Microsoft 3 - Madden NFL 2005* - PS2 - Electronic Arts 4 - ESPN NFL 2K5 - PS2 - Take II Interactive 5 - Need For Speed: Underground 2 - PS2 - Electronic Arts 6 - Pokemon Fire Red W/ Adapter - GBA - Nintendo of America 7 - NBA Live 2005 - PS2 - Electronic Arts 8 - Spider-Man: The Movie 2 - PS2 - Activision 9 - Halo - XBX - Microsoft 10 - ESPN NFL 2K5 - XBX - Take II Interactive *Includes Limited & Collector’s Editions Source: The NPD Group, January 2005 from: http://ask.yahoo.com/20051226.html That depends -- are you talking arcade, console, or PC? According to Time Magazine, The Sims is the bestselling PC game of all time. It passed perennial powerhouse MYST in 2002. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Super Mario Brothers is the bestselling video game of all time, with over 40 million units sold. The 26 Mario games have sold an astounding 152 million copies since Donkey Kong came out in 1983. However, Super Mario Brothers came bundled with the Nintendo's NES gaming system, so it had a Microsoft-like advantage in that respect. But Mario is still sitting pretty, as Super Mario Brothers 3 has sold 18 million unbundled copies since its release. And the bestselling video game console? That would be Sony PlayStation. The bestselling coin-operated arcade game appears to be the one and only Pac-Man. For the latest video game sales statistics, we suggest you head on over to NDP Funworld, an industry-tracking service. Right now it's all about football. more stats: http://www.theesa.com/facts/sales_genre_data.php > Hey, > does anyone know, where in the web I'll find a ranking of the most sold video games ever? > > E-mail me, thx !!! |
