Felt like doing another sales thread. Top 10 best selling 8th gen games, according to VGChartz figures, so no digital. First, games that are exclusive to the 8th gen (PC doesn't count as it transcends standard console generations.). Does not include remakes/remasters.
1. Pokemon X/Y | 3DS | 13.87m |
2. Mario Kart 7 | 3DS | 12.03m |
3. Star Wars: Battlefront | PS4,X1 | 10.85m |
4. Super Mario 3D Land | 3DS | 10.75m |
5. Fallout 4 | PS4,X1 | 10.66m |
6. New Super Mario Bros. 2 | 3DS | 9.71m |
7. Animal Crossing: New Leaf | 3DS | 8.96m |
8. Super Smash Bros. for 3DS | 3DS | 7.35m |
9. Assassin's Creed Unity | PS4,X1 | 7.3m |
10. Mario Kart 8 | WiiU | 6.86m |
Note: Including remakes would include Pokemon OmegaRuby/Alpha Sapphire at 10.45m, 6th.
Now a Top 10 list that includes new gen exclusive games and new gen only sales (PS4,X1,WiiU,3DS,Vita) of cross gen games. This does include remakes/remasters.
Game | System(s) | Sales | Sales including last gen + PC |
1. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 | PS4,X1 | 20.29m | 23.88m |
2. Grand Theft Auto V | PS4,X1 | 15.82m | 54.4m |
3. Pokemon X/Y | 3DS | 13.87m | 13.87m |
4. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare | PS4,X1 | 12.67m | 21.78m |
5. Mario Kart 7 | 3DS | 12.03m | 12.03m |
6. Destiny (including The Taken King) | PS4,X1 | 11.68m | 16.07m |
7. FIFA 16 | PS4,X1 | 11.02m | 15.33m |
8. Super Mario 3D Land | 3DS | 10.75m | 10.75m |
9. Star Wars: Battlefront | PS4,X1 | 10.85m | 11.37m |
10. Fallout 4 | PS4,X1 | 10.66m | 11.82m |
Note: Combining both Smash Wii U and Smash 3DS as VGChartz does puts it at 12.29m, which would be #2 and #5, respectively. Seperating Destiny and Destiny: The Taken King removes it from the list, and Pokemon OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire is added.
*An idea I got from alabtrosMyster, a top 10 for 8th gen exclusives, home consoles only. No remakes/remasters or collections
1. Star Wars: Battlefront | PS4,X1 | 10.85m |
2. Fallout 4 | PS4,X1 | 10.66m |
3. Assassin's Creed Unity | PS4,X1 | 7.3m |
4. Mario Kart 8 | WiiU | 6.86m |
5. New Super Mario Bros. U | WiiU | 5.15m |
6. Tom Clancy's The Division | PS4,X1 | 5.13m |
7. Batman: Arkham Knight | PS4,X1 | 5.06m |
8. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U | WiiU | 4.94m |
9. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt | PS4,X1 | 4.7m |
10. Nintendo Land | WiiU | 4.43m |
This really does hammer home how many of the top selling games are cross gen. It'll be interesting to see how this changes as PS4 gets more exclusives and as more new gen only games come out.
* Another new idea popped up. I'm sure somebody's already done it, but I'm adding a list of top 10 8th gen, single console exclusives, and for sake of the list being even remotely interesting, discounting 3DS. No remakes/remasters or collections. Games with a PC version only count the console version.
1. Mario Kart 8 | WiiU | 6.86m |
2. New Super Mario Bros. U | WiiU | 5.15m |
3. Super Smash Bros for Wii U | WiiU | 4.94m |
4. Nintendo Land | WiiU | 4.43m |
5. Splatoon | WiiU | 4.42m |
6. Super Mario 3D World | WiiU | 4.2m |
7. Halo 5: Guardians | XB1 | 3.98m |
8. Super Mario Maker | WiiU | 3.08m |
9. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End | PS4 | 2.98m |
10. Infamous: Second Son | PS4 | 2.75m |
