on the list of best selling video games it show "the Witcher 3" sold 28 million copies. But that number is far outdated and CD Projekt Red has even confirmed on there twitter they sold over 50 million copies (mainly breaking 30 million due to the netfilx series i would assume).

Most game of all time
Well i noticed that the advanced series was added to their respective games so why not also add the sales of super mario all stars for the snes and wii. As the advanced games are the same thing just separate the games (except 3 due to the E reader levels) but why should these sales be ignored? Now we know how much to add to 1, 2, and 3 since it is just all of the sales of both but world is much harder which is just an estimate as we know the wii verison didnt have world and all of the snes copies sold in japan didnt have world so you must take the USA and EU numbers and try to calculate how many have world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.175.110 ( talk) 16:23, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
well mario galaxy has 12.8 million sales and mario 3d all stars has 8.32 which means it comes out to 21.1 million. Mario 64 sold 11.9 on the n64 and so with the 8.32 from 3d all stars puts it at 20.22 million. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.162.80 ( talk) 14:58, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/million.html it's now sold 26 million copies combined
Well you can see Diablo III and The Witcher 3 having dlc/expansions are listed and other games like Wii Fit and it's enhanced version Wii Fit Plus are listed separated on official website of Nintendo sale figures just like Monster Hunter World and it's expansion pack Iceborne are listed separated on Capcom platinum titles
the list has been 50 forever but as time goes on the minimum requirement keeps going up here in a few years it will be passing 25 million to get into the top 50. So why not just increase the amount to 100 yes it would take some work but the data is already here all the needs to be done is for someone to see what the other 46 games are. Many would be on probably the PS4 a few 3DS games as well. It would make the list richer with information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.175.202 ( talk) 02:53, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Maybe we do 15 million as the cut off it is the middle between the 20 and 10 million suggestions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.162.80 ( talk) 20:59, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Also say we go to something like 15 million while yes some additional research will be needed many of the games that would pop up are games that used to be in the top 50 and therefore the data was found already. Also many of them are also going to be from the other best selling game charts. Like Mario land is on the GB or Mario Kart 7 is on the 3DS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.175.202 ( talk) 22:01, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Also looking in the old page shows that games such as battlefield 3 should be on the list since it shows that it is at 20 million — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.175.202 ( talk) 22:39, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Also another that would be added would be NSMBU as you add it Luigi U and deluxe almost putting it at 18.69 million — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.162.80 ( talk) 05:40, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
why not most of the information is there to extend the list out to at 15 million cut off or to 100 all you need to do is copy paste most of the references and then it is done showing growth of the list would make it more diverse and show trends much better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.175.202 ( talk) 05:50, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
if that was the case why are list like the highest grossing media franchise, or the best selling video game franchises wouldnt have so many entries it is a similar idea set it to something as simple as 20 million because then you dont have to change anything until you get more entries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.162.80 ( talk) 06:48, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

I was wondering if Red Dead Redemption (2010) could be added to the list? Both the source listed for Red Dead Redemption II's sales and this 2021 financial report from Take-Two (page 11) state that the Red Dead series has sold around 60 million units. Since RDR2 has sold over 37 million, that places RDR1 somewhere around 23 million. Please change #43 on the list to Red Dead Redemption. Twelvepieces ( talk) 12:18, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request an edit to the third best selling game on the list Tetris. The specific game stated is the EA version of the game in the mobile platform which is NOT the correct version of the game that sold 200,000,000 copies. The mobile game is free and only has around 5,000,000 downloads on the Google Play Store. If you are able to edit the version of the Tetris game to the Original Version of Tetris for the Nintendo Game Boy, it would be much appreciated since this list is fairly important in the Gaming community. Thanks and have a nice day. 112.200.40.193 ( talk) 15:07, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
i am talking about the ps4/ps5 game as recently sony updated their sales numbers and i remembered that all ps5 copies of spiderman: miles Morales came with the ps5 verison of spider man.

In the List section, the Video Game 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' is listed as 16th on the list with 33,890,000 sales. The Video Game 'Wii Sports Resort' is listed as 15th on the list with 33,140,000 sales. The number 33,890,000 is in-fact larger than 33,140,000. This edit request is to change the 'Rank' numeral indicated in the first column to 15 for 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' and 16 for 'Wii Sports Resort' respectively.

well today nintendo release its quarterly report.
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/software/index.html https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2021/211104_4e.pdf
In these are new updates to current top 50 titles.
But there is a new one New Super mario bros U That is combining the wii u game along with Luigi U and the Deluxe title and you come out with 20.36 million sales — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.161.148 ( talk) 12:30, 4 November 2021 (UTC) "
Also add 10K to mario kart 8 as the wii U version sold 10k it has been updated on Nintendo page as well
OK sorry if it sounded vague so it is two things.
1. Mario kart 8 need 10K added as you go to the Wii U page on Nintendo's quarterly reports it has 10K more that what this page says.
2. Using the Wii u page and the PDF that shows all of the 1 million sellers for this current fiscal year. New super mario bros U has crossed 20 million units. New Super Mario bros U Deluxe 11.48 million + The base game (New super Mario bros U) 5.81 million + New super Luigi U (which was sold digitally and on its own disc and is bundled in with Deluxe) 3.07 million = 20.36 million for New super mario bros U/Luigi U/Deluxe.
This PDF was in one of the links at the top but for the wii u stuff to make it easy.

I am just throwing this up as right now there are 4 games sitting in 51st place at 20 million in sales. So i am putting the idea of maybe keeping them and making entry at 20 million in sales instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.161.148 ( talk) 21:40, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
Another reason that keep 20 million as maybe the threshold is it makes a very intresting comparison with old games and new ones to see where each of them stack up. As if sales reports keep coming in the market grows the really old games on this list might fall off so maybe setting the list at 20 million is not a bad idea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.165.120 ( talk) 01:08, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
Just my 2 cents, but I think as more and more games reach 25 and especially 30 Million, and 20 Million is a little less "Big" (as if it isn't still freaking huge), maybe it could be something that the standards could be upped for? Idk, just my thought.

Looking at certain games on this list, some are listed as the same game even though they are separate releases and/or full-on remakes. With some (Pokemon Red & Blue) this makes sense; with others, it's kinda a grey area (Pokemon Yellow + Red & Blue) and with others, it's pretty disingenuous IMO. Take Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus. They're listed as separate games on Nintendo's Website, with 2 distinct total game sold values (Source: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/software/wii.html), but they are listed as one here. While I get that they are, at heart, trying to accomplish the same thing, they are listed as separate by Nintendo, and, in the end, Wii Fit Plus is an upgraded remake on the same system. Another example is Super Mario 64 DS. It's listed alongside the N64 version, with combined totals, and while Nintendo doesn't list how many copies of the N64 original were sold on their site (it doesn't go back to N64 days with the Top 10 sold by console unfortunately), they do list Mario 64 DS on their DS list at 11.06 Million Units Sold (Source: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/software/ds.html), and as someone who has played both, they are almost completely different games with the same basic structure. And it's not like something like this hasn't come up before; the Tetris games have been separated fairly recently. A more borderline case would be those such as the OG Mario Bros, if you include the original release, then the Mario + Duck Hunt release as a separate release, although that's a harder case to make, obviously. Another thing to consider is DLC expansions, especially paid ones: Do we include all the expansions a game has a separate sales, or do we only include the base game? It's one I'd lean toward just the base game, but I'll let others argue about that. Straight ports, or mostly straight ports, such as Mario Kart 8 & Mario Kart 8 Deluxe along with re-releases such as those on Virtual Console (where data is available), are another question, and I'd personally lean toward including those in the total, just because they are almost identical to the original, although the $5 price point on NES Virtual Console games, when that was going on, was obviously a much different ask than back in the 80s. Ultimately, my point is this: While all situations are different with these, they need to be more thoroughly looked at.

Alexseidner0831 ( talk) 02:03, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
well not every remake/remaster is the same. It depends on your stance like if you are someone that counts copies of a game like super mario bros you could count everything currently listed and copies of super mario all-stars (even though it is not just one game). Why Tetris was split is most versions are different with some exceptions (GB and NES). Why the wii fits are together is everything that is in wii fit is in wii fit plus. Wii fit plus just has a few more mini games but in most areas they are almost the same game. Why the 3rd and sometimes 4th game for each Pokémon gen is included (excluding current gen and X and Y and for some odd reason black/white/black 2/white 2) as often while a bit different it is essentially the same thing just this one has a new legendary and a few new locations. Honestly i do not get the whole mario 64 and 64 DS but i could see it as that 64 DS just adds some things in to add length like making more stars but at the end of the day it is Mario 64 on a handheld. One that would make a bit more sense is maybe doing Mario 64 + Mario 3D all-stars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.166.187.108 ( talk) 18:53, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

The source for Minecraft's 238,000,000 sales should be changed. The current source just directs to an archive of Minecraft's website when it used to display the total copies sold (which it no longer does), and the sales displayed on that source only show 34,000,000. A better source would be this news article written by Helen Chiang at Mojang where she says, "We are humbled that there have now been more than 200 million copies of Minecraft sold to date." This source more accurately represents the currently displayed sales number. Other sources should be added for those extra 38,000,000 but I'm not sure where to look for those. Maybe that's combining sales on mobile? MAX490907 ( talk) 16:47, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

I would consider them as different games since 64 DS a lot of features to differentiate itself that makes it a whole new experience unlike lets say new super mario bros u and it releases and the Pokémon titles.

One of the recent updates brought total Pokémon Red/Green/Blue/Yellow sales from 47.52 million to 32.88 million. However the source claimed for the change only references "the first three Pokémon games" as totaling 31.38 million in sales. The first three games are Red, Green, and Blue. Most sources show that Pokémon Yellow individually sold 14.64 million copies.

Wii Sports was included for free with the sale of many (all?) Wii consoles. It feels misleading to include it on this list as if it sold all of its copies on its own merits. 72.93.84.206 ( talk) 19:29, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
The issue is not all copies were bundled with the Wii as that was mostly in the west and not to mention the Nintendo selects version of the game. But the issue is most games have been bundled with a console so where do you draw the line. Even games like Wii play were bundled with a wii mote which is why it sold well. Also mobile games how are those fair as games such as Tetris (EA) was sold most of its life at 99 cents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.135.169.216 ( talk) 15:35, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
So since the numbers went away and the whole Overwatch thing we are only at 49 so if i remember correctly entry 50 should be New super mario bros U and its many different versions. So combining Wii u mario U + Luigi U + Mario U deluxe (which is both mario and Luigi U) the sales are at 22.2 million. Now this might be pointless if you combine pokemon Black/White + Black 2/ White 2 in which it would be 23.45 million which would also make it 50 entries on this list. 158.135.169.216 ( talk) 06:54, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
I don't know what happened with Tetris in this page but apparently there's only the mobile ea version when before their used to be the original. Like that doesn't make sense.

I found this on Twitter. A Twitter user took a snapshot of someone’s LinkedIn profile. On the LinkedIn profile, the person, who was a producer of Activision from September 2009 to November 2013, said that the original Black Ops sold over 30 million copies worldwide and that Black Ops II sold over 31 million copies worldwide. https://twitter.com/bogorad222/status/1240679897619718144?lang=en 2601:81:8500:198C:B4B3:A4A:DE8D:3153 ( talk) 13:43, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
When sorting from newest to oldest, Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald are listed as being the newest game on the list. This is not true, as it was released in 2002, while Animal Crossing New Horizons was released in 2020. 140.228.15.3 ( talk) 23:27, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Just please bring back the numbers 1-50 as they worked so well and they can help catch errors easier they should have never been removed 50.226.72.58 ( talk) 02:32, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
yes but the errors i was alluding to were games that had their sales numbers updated but not their positioning and also this is the top 50 best selling video games of all time list so why do we even keep to that number if you dont display it. like why not do games that have sold over 20 million or 10 million units but what i am say is the numbers were a quality of life improvement that need to come back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C4:C900:460:591C:1358:DD8B:4101 ( talk) 06:00, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
Monster Hunter World sold 18.80 million units and its expansion Monster Hunter World: Iceborne sold 10.20 million units so it should be included in this list, although its expansion can't be purchased without having the base game but still you have to purchase it in order to play it. The games have sold 29 million units combined. [5] Kazama16 ( talk) 11:44, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
I think Stardew Valley should be added to the list - I think it has sold over 30,000,000 copies. 107.190.25.195 ( talk) 00:35, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
Rainbow six siege should be added to this list, it has been top 10 selling games of all time for years now and has reached 85 million sales as of last year

Contrary to what the quoted article claims, the 33.3 million sales number in the filing does not refer to Ark but to all games published by Snail ("We have experienced significant growth in our number of downloads over the last several years. We have sold 33.3 million units between January 1, 2016 and June 30, 2022. […] Our video games provide highly engaging, differentiated entertainment experiences where the combination of challenge and progress drives player engagement, high average player times, and long-term franchise value." pp.49-50). According to this document, Ark is only at 20+ million sales (see the infographic page 49). - Quand nous chanterons ( talk) 04:06, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

The list is missing The The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim which is one of the best-selling individual video games of all time. In a recent interview with IGN, Bethesda Game Studios exec Todd Howard confirms that Skyrim has now sold 60 million copies 49.37.66.38 ( talk) 06:46, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
For the sales vs. copies sold debate that @ Kazama16 disputes in the case of Skyrim. There are some double standards here with the Skyrim debate. When Overwatch reported copies, NOT sales, the moderators and you were okay with it. But it doesn't apply to Skyrim. Why is this? I've looked into the references people cited, and a good amount of these games are reporting copies sold or units sold, not sales. I've found a few flaws in this page or double standards 1. COD MW3 has a weak reference that does not state sales; both Modern Warfare game reference clearly states COPIES, which is inputted into the page. 2. All the Nintendo titles that self-report state copies or units. 3. Red Dead Redemption reference clearly states copies as well. So to say that Skyrim reports copies rather than sales, so we can't put it on the page, is just not holding the standard. 4. Companies are self-reported copies to outlets so to say the company can't be trusted, I just showed three companies that self-reported copy sales: Activision, Rockstar, and Nintendo.
So help me figure this one out. Make your case on why these weak references and multiple statements on reporting copies/units are any different than Skyrim's report of 60 million copies sold. Is it grossing sales or copies? Make up your mind. Because than half of the page isn't valid due to reporting copies sold. Heck, even the beginning of the page states that Minecraft sold 238 million copies. So if it's off gross sales the numbers are wildly different. Hatrick24 ( talk) 13:05, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Remove the EA-Version of Tetris from the List. It could even be argued that the smartphone releases of those games differ enough to call them seperate games, but the reference for the Listing of Tetris (EA) talks about total sold games of the Tetris franchise since 2005 which also include the iOS Version released in 2008, but is not limited to. So its (again) counting multiple iterations of the Tetris as the same game, even though they're not. Also, an iOS Game selling 100m copies between 2008 and 2010 is highly unlikely as by the end of 2010, only 73.7m iPhones were sold. As the Article which is cited as reference was released in January 2010, this would mean that at that point, every iOS User should have owned this game, which should have spawned at least 1 other source for this. Also, I wouldn't count this EA Article as a credible source as it lacks any concrete information apart from the headline. Yamathedestroyer ( talk) 18:50, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
Not done: closed because there is no clear consensus about what edit to make. (My !vote would be to exclude because the citation is to a self-published claim by the vendor ... as are most of the items in the entire list.) Xan747 ( talk) 19:58, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Dying Light sold 30 million copies according to techland,developer of dying light. Could it be added? Thanks! 46.37.82.195 ( talk) 19:42, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
I don't know why 2 people keep removing it. But the game has sold 60 million copies as confirmed by the director and producer of the game. This is 1st hand source information and someone keeps removing it from the list. Please someone revert the most recent change and add it back. Liamedits1000 ( talk) 04:31, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

I found this [15] it says that the original Tetris which was released in 1984 sold over 125 million units and Gameboy version of Tetris sold 40 million units so can we rely on it? Kazama16 ( talk) 16:52, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
according to several news articles quoting Henk Rogers (one of the founders and President of the Tetris Company), the mobile version of Tetris has over 425 paid sales (not counting free downloads) that would make it the best selling game in history (at leas this version of the game), I don't know if anybody else has been able to find more sources. here are some links about the interview: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/tetris-now-at-425-million-paid-mobile-downloads

Change the list by adding The Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim above Super Mario Bros. as Skyrim has about 60 million copies sold. MrPeepa ( talk) 13:21, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
TES V: Skyrim, why isn't it on that list? I don't see a single valid reason why it isn't. According to an interview with Todd Howard, the director and executive producer at Bethesda Game Studios, Skyrim has sold 60 million copies in 12 years.

The sentence "The oldest game in the top 50 is Pac-Man, released in May 1980, while the most recent is Cyberpunk 2077, released in December 2020." should be changed to "The oldest game in the top 50 is Pac-Man, released in May 1980, while the most recent is Pokémon Scarlet / Violet, released in November 2022."
