2014 was a bumper year for gamers as there were plenty of high quality titles on offer, especially from Nintendo. Germany is one of the biggest video game markets in Europe so it’s interesting to see which games captivated the heart of the nation. Thankfully, Germany didn’t skip out on the supreme brawler which is Super Smash Bros and neither did they neglect to purchase the crazy Tomodachi Life. Here’s the top twenty best-selling games in Germany during 2014.

Thanks, Adam
Best selling in the UK –> titles in German
Something is wrong here
Why is it in German though? Also, on number 17 are 20€ PSN cards, for whatever reason… But thing is, the currency of the UK isn’t €. Are you sure this chart is for the UK?
This is what happens when you’re blogging and doing other things. This is for Germany. I’ve updated the post!
Makes more sense now!
Thanks for updating. :)
No problem! And sorry for the confusion.
Oh, no worries, it’s all good!
Us in the Uk need more nintendo magic!
We can presume Mario Kart 8 is in the top 25 if only the list would stretch that far.
all muricans don’t mind all those idiots buying fifa games there just not inteligent
to all muricans*
what on earth do the “muricans” have to do with this?
ok I’l say it like this FUCK THE IDIOTS THAT BUY FIFA EVERY GOD DAMN YEAR
i think we can agree on that
well.. 2 of these are no games…
curious how MK8 did not make the list
Dirty casuals… =(
Without casuals the video game industry wouldn’t exist.
It can’t survive with just hardcore gamers. There are not enough of us.
Die SIMS
When I read FIFA on number 1, I stopped reading.
Garbage. The video game industry gets worse every year.
FIFA in the UK, madden in the US (though Madden doesn’t top charts like before cuz it sucks now) people buying the same damn game every year with minor updates . Add call of duty in there as well and ask, what the hell is wrong with people ? I’ll get on subject though and say this chart looks a little better than UKs though….
Same can be said about Pokemon.
well to be fair, pokemon does feature new mechanics, a new story, and of course new pokemon
FIFA is, apart from cosmetic changes, mostly the same game every year
But those new battle mechanics, new Pokemon, and even new story don’t come until 3 years or so every new gen. Its cycle is: new games -> remake of old games -> same, but newer, game. And the fact that they release two of the same games simultaneously is even worse.
it’s still not quite the same as FIFA
This is the FIFA , Madden, Cycle …. EA : this years Madden, FIFA is the best ever! New improved graphics , physics, realistic gameplay. Consumer buys: this f’ing game is the same as last years, screw EA I’m never buying again! EA: But this year is the best Madden , FIFA ever ! With new and improved(everything!) Consumer : I can’t wait for this years Madden and FIFA !
Hearts, FIFA… FIFA, hearts… nope! Not even Ansem the Wise could crack this one.
Germania must be destroyed just like the US, UK and Sweden…
Pathetic Xbot and Electron filth territory…
Nope no Xbots.
http://mynintendonews.com/2015/01/07/tomodachi-life-was-the-sixth-best-selling-game-in-germany-during-2014/
One civilian game vs many Electron and Xbot loving electron filth doesn’t agree…
Even if it seems the list is game, it ‘s the same as UK and I did not read the comments UK received on weekly basis(i.e. we hate UK, UK should be destroy, UK player dont have taste, etc…)
Moving on, I am not reallly surprised about it. In Europe we love our football, so it should not be a surprise that FIFA got the top spot (like it or not). I would not surprise to see FIFA on the top most selling games for France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Spain and all scandinavia countries.The same apply for Madden, the US like this sport they call football or they also love their basketball.
Anyway all that to say FIFA is logic place even if you hate the game. I won’t go in details as to why people buy it every year but it make sense when you know football.
I meant: Even if it seems the list is not detailed per platform….
