In truth, i doubt there is any game that has sold 20-25M copies on its own.

You will find thst if you look at every game that you mention that hits that number it was because the game was bundled with hardware on way or another.

And realistically speaking, a game doesn't even have to sell that much. In the time of the PS2 era all a game needed to do was sell 1M copies to be deemed a success. Then "platinum hits" were a thing. With HD gaming that number went up to around 1.5-2.5M. If any game can manage 2M and up now it's at least turning a profit.

Minecraft doesn't count.... there are probably toasters that the game was released on.
