And how about Angry Birds? Rovio are Finnish I believe.

Read the thread title. This is about games, not apps.

There's a PC version

Good to see Goldeneye there. Classic game. Dont know why the GTA games have been so successful. The original game was by far the best. I played GTA 3 and thought it was meh at best.

Interesting. It boggles my mind that Fifa is made in Canada though. If it was made in The UK, like you'd expect, we'd probably see about 10 Fifa titles up there!

Edit: Ah apologies missread your sentence.

Also, it boggles my mind that the PS3 version of Fifa 12 is currently at 6.12 million. That's over what it sold on all other platforms combined. The franchise as a whole is seeing some huge growth.

You actually like the first one and not any of the recent ones? Man you are one of the rare ones ;o

You would probably like ChinaTown Wars in that case for the NDS and PSP.



The original game was fantastic. The music was great and the games idea was unique at the time. The viiolence wasnt too bad becouse it wasnt realistic. I miss that game.

OT: Nice list. Glad to see Battlefield, aka. the gaming pride of my country, is pulling some impressive numbers.

I'm pretty sure that's Minecraft >_>

Do we have any data on Football Manager? That's made in the UK and is probably as popular as Fifa. Although it's a PC game so it might be difficult to track.


Pretty much any PC game is tracked poorly on here - so FM & BF2 are nowhere near these kind of sales.  I was just using VGChartz's numbers, rather than anything pulled from anywhere else, so there's probably a lot of room for improvement.

Likewise with Angry Birds.  They don't track downloads at all (I don't think).



I started a trend. Yaaay!

Great effort btw. I find these very interesting.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Ok, I may as well make some observations.

A lot of Harry Potter and LEGO, I didn't know these games sold so much...

Most games made in the UK, let's see where the British industry goes now that the tax breaks for game developers are over. At least GTA won't go anywhere else probably.

Also, the fact that Ubisoft (a French company) develops most games abroad means AC and PoP games are not technically European, which is a shame for this list.

Edit: also, it would be interesting to see a list of European games made this gen. And then a list of all time best selling Japanese games for my thread. I may do it tomorrow.

Yeah, I'd be quite interested in both of those lists.  I'll give the European one a go in a couple of days, unless someone beats me to it!
