I'm not sure why you have both Fortnite and PUBG. Sure, PUBG sold pretty well, but Fortnite has long since eclipsed it and has endured for years now, becoming the iconic game of an era.
Including PUBG on this list is like including something like Hydlide on the list. Sure, Hydlide was popular and influential in the mid-80's, but its time in the spotlight was so short that it's hard to say that it stands out from the likes of Dragon Quest or Legend of Zelda.
Besides that, I'd argue that GTA should be above Call of Duty. Both have sold similar amounts, but GTA has set the bar for open word games several times, whereas Call of Duty, though popular, didn't do very much to xpand the FPS genre, war games, online multiplayer, etc (at least when we consider that Halo and Medal of Honor did much of the work for it).
I would also like to nominate Dragon Quest for at least an honorable mention. Its popularity may be limited outside of Japan, but you have to give it credit for making the JRPG sub-genre, making the greater RPG genre mainstream, genre and being a prominent force in said genre for decades since, regularly defining what the genre is.
