Best Selling Video Games 1979 - 2023

In this update I added the latest 3 years of data and updated some numbers that were published by more credible sources. I also split up the Tetris numbers because all the game versions were quite different, there's no such thing as a classic version to combine.
This data visualization video shows the best selling video games since 1979. It includes all their ports for newer systems such as for Super Mario Bros for the Wii, Wii U, etc. It does not include Free-to-Play video games, I will include those in a different video.
For top selling I selected those with 1 million in sales units for the first few years, then those with 5 million in sales for the next few years, then 10 million, etc. This was to avoid crowding the chart and to avoid adding games that don't even peek out for a single year.
These stats come from Wikipedia, articles and from Google Books searches. Some of the data includes approximate numbers as the data available skipped years.
In the video I included quick clips of how the games looked.

    I suspect Minecraft will beat the Super Mario Bros, top spot for 8 years without a sweat. Currently 5 years at number 1 I can't see anything coming close to those humungous Minecraft numbers (not to ignore it still sells as much yearly as it did 5 years ago). Will anybody ever beat Minecraft is the real question now.

The famous musical theme of Tetris "Korobeiniki" is a Russian folk song of the nineteenth century. Now there is still a Russian game "Аtоmiс Heart" - I haven't played it myself, but many people like it. And the music there is great.

    Compared to some of this type of video, you can really see how platform-exclusivity played a big role. I was waiting for the big N64 and ps2 games from ~1999ish, but they never showed up, because consumers were split across so many platforms.

    They never showed up because there weren't any PS2 games in the 90's. PS2 didn't arrive until 2000 (March Japan, October US) But otherwise you are right, multi-plat games have and will continue to dominate the top spot (I don't believe Minecraft will ever be supplanted as it stands now). As for Nintendo they had some good runs back in the day (90's and with Wii) but today you don't see Switch first-party games with 50%+ attachment making this list and you definitely won't see PS games. With the growth of subscription services we may have to define a new way to count a games' popularity (i.e. unique MAU over sales)

    First gen of Pokemon games were a novel concept for the time. But the developers (Game Freak), didn't do much to keep their next games of the series fresh as when they were first released. For the titles of the series GF just refined things here and there through the time, added cool features in one game to immediately take away in the next game, but overal, no significant changes were made for the games so... I am not really suprised to be honest.
