Amazon UK Publishes Top 10 Best-Selling Games Of All Time For Last 15 Years

amazon_large

One franchise clearly dominates the video games chart, with Activision’s blockbuster Call of Duty series taking the top three spots in the all-time video games chart. This year’s Grand Theft Auto V may well overtake Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 at the top of the list as it already takes fourth place after just one month on sale. EA’s FIFA football series is the other big franchise, taking the sixth, seventh and eighth places. Fantasy epic The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim takes ninth place, and Wii title Zumba Fitness takes the number ten spot, impressive considering it’s the only title in the list which isn’t multiplatform.

“ Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and FIFA are three of the largest entertainment franchises in the world, so it’s no surprise to see them dominating the top ten best-selling games chart. The success of Skyrim suggests that there is a real appetite for epic fantasy games, whilst Zumba Fitness’s appearance in tenth place shows just how big Nintendo Wii’s fanbase is in the UK.”

        1. How many times have you let your nut sack lead you astray? The nut sack has a mighty power. In fact, Nintendo should tap into that secret and aspire to be the greatest ball sack of all time.

    1. Amazon aren’t really intellegent, they said best games if last 15 years most of those games were made in the last 5 years, and Zumba, your kidding right?! Dumb asses…

        1. I’m sorry, but are you actually trying to defend CoD? A worthless FPS with a shite story-line that only 5 year olds play.

  1. I only see 1 game – Skyrim. The rest..I knew FIFA’s and COD were popular, but I didnt know that they were that much popular

  2. In Call of Duty all you do really is run around the map shooting people, I mean it’s fun and all but there are way better games and superior shooters than CoD in my opinion.

    1. True, i think Halo CE is perfect example of well made fps game, You have huge areas and all kinds of stuff, tanks, those alien planes etc.

          1. hey bowser, so i see in the new mario game you dont abduct peach….. so is that like because peach cant make anymore babies for you?? you need a new bitch i see.

            1. U can’t be so dumb! Don’t you? You PLAY dumb, that’s right! Please tell me I’m right! Somebody pay you to troll! How much?

                  1. I must admit I don’t like your trolling around here but Vince saying fired is always cause for a laugh. WWF died 10 tens ago when cena entered though.

              1. shhhhhhhhhhh……. shh. bowser makes babies with peach in every adventure and now that peach gave birth to like 10 koopa kids, she cant have anymore. yes peach is a whore and mario is a fucking retarded diaper wearing baby plumber who cant see it because hes special.

                now bowsers new bitch is rosalina, so he can get busy with her and make more villains but mario will just try to save a whore from something shes in on.

                1. Or maybe you are 12 years old ! In that case I can understand why you speak like a child! I know you LOVE NINTENDO, so please don’t worry, Nintendo is gonna be alright!

                2. Remember New Super Mario Bros. 2? The reason why you had to collect a lot of coins was that you had to buy Princess Peach because she was in the prostitute business.

            2. That’s what they want you to think.

              Ya see Mario, Green Stache, and the mushroom guy are delivering Peach to me!

              No seriously, the only reason why I captured her i the first place was to harness her telekinesis powers for something far more superior that I wish not to speak of it. Now that it’s complete I don’t need her anymore… I need more power hence why I’m out for those fairies. Once I use their powers to make my Neo Bowser Caste high in the shy, then I’ll start with the observatory.

              1. mario: oh a bowser!! ARE YOU FUCKING DA PRINACESS!! ANASWER MY FAT PLUMBER ASSA!! YOUA BASTARD I KNEWA ITA. IF I WASNT SUCH A RETARDA I WOULD HAVE NOTICED PEACH WASA PREGNANT AFTER A SAVED HERA EVERYATIMEA!!

                1. Wow clever, using the old “King Koopa is screwing the princess which is why she always gets caught” scenario to troll? You’re pathetic.

                  1. Personally I feel if Mario didn’t spread himself so thin by being a multi-sport athlete, doctor, musician, time traveler, turning up missing, running hotels, re-killing dinosaurs, working as a demolition man, occasionally as a plumber, and fighting in non-regulation brawls, he would be effective at making sure a large lizard in a flying clown’s head doesn’t keep kidnapping the princess.

                    I believe Bowser just kidnaps Peach because he can and because Mario just sucks at consistency.

    Seven of those positions are taken up by two games, speaks volumes of the state of the “gaming” industry right now. I know a lot of people that own a PS3/360 and just own FIFA and COD games.

    Plus, not everyone buys their games at Amazon, but that list isn’t all that surprising.

  4. Uhm, I don’t know about sales on Amazon, but in total Mario Kart Wii, NSMB and NSMB Wii has sold way more than any of those games.

      1. I’m sick to DEATH of seeing these stupid “Surprise MF”videos (and parodies) on YouTube, They’re not even funny or anything, yet everyone acts like they’re SO cool. Lame people in this world.

    1. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

      Since the PSX came on to the scene we’ve seen the rise of the “Casual Gamer”. Console sales shot up from the norm of 30-50M to 100M+, where were all these people before?

      Gaming wasn’t “cool” before the PSX came along, that’s why EA call the PSX first gen, because to them it is, it bought in a new audience, a new breed of gamers that like I said before, buy a system just to play the likes of COD and FIFA/MADDEN.

      It’s not a knock or a criticism, but the industry has changed dramatically.

  5. WELL ITS THE UK WHAT U CAN EXPECT OF A COUNTRY THAT U STILL NEED TO GET ON YO NEEDS ERRYTIME U SEE ERRY ONE OF THOSE ROYAL KIDZ.

    BTW UK PPL WAKE UP N STOP PLAYIN GARBAGE.

    1. I’m sure they’ll snap out of their mediocre sense of aesthetics any moment now that they’ve all read your loquacious masterpiece of a post.

  6. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

    This is the “next gen” crowd that claim to be “hardcore gamerz”, there is no hardcore anymore, the hardcore all died out with the death of the arcades. All you have now is a bunch of casuals who think that just because they’ve played a few shooters that makes them some kind of “gaming god”.

        1. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

          Funny how Mario is for babies yet most people can’t beat the first level of SMB, there’s your hardcore..

  7. None of those games are even close to being considered Top Ten BEST Games of all time, top sold means nothing anymore. GTA 5 maybe but it’s far too soon to call put it on that list. This list shows exactly why video games suck now.

  8. I don’t own a single one of those lame-ass games. I played Skyrim, which was pretty good. everything else sucks. I wouldn’t be caught dead with anyone one of those games in my library.

    Where are New Super Mario Bros Wii, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Sports Resort, Nintendogs… this list is a big flaw.
