Thanks to Microsiervos, to whom I thank the use of the image illustrated in the article, we learn what are the best-selling video games ever, Until now. It is a graph made by Jishai Evers that you have done using the wikipedia information.
I think the figures offered are very lively and there are many modifications since the time the update was published, which seems to be more than two years old. For example, that Angry Birds do not appear seems to me to be a mistake because the latest figures spoke of more than 50 million sales. In any case, the graph offers important data, which is very simple games who are the ones who succeed, like the Tetris, that Minecraft is climbing very strong driven by pedagogical use and the ease of sharing content on YouTube, and that japanese consoles, especially from Nintendo, they are very powerful with very entertaining games for kids.
This is the original image, before it was adjusted in Microsiervos. You can see the extraordinary Tetris and Wii Sports sales bar:
For video game developers it must be a challenge to get such spectacular figures although there is a fundamental key to reach those values, as explained in Microsiervos, and it is be part of the package It is sold with the device. Thus it is understood that the Wii, with very high sales due to the novelty in the game, has so many games very well positioned.
We will have to keep looking for more data and figures because there are games that are carried on mobile devices that are sure to move in these figures. Even so, we are left with this ranking that ensures that we can continue talking about video games for many years.
