Windows Solitaire and Minesweeper. Installed on over a billion PC's.

Sure but what is the revenue?

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I might put together a chart of the top 20 games of 2013 by revenue for an article - I think it would be extremely interesting...

GTA will likely take the top spot in pure revenue.

But most profitable games and revenue return based on investments, we as "hardcore" gamers are gonna be suprised with the results.

Looking forward to it!

Please do that! Would be interesting to see. Obviously, getting the accurate revenue from FB Candy Crush or the numbers from Puzzle & Dragons might be hard, but hugely interesting. Also, include profitability estimates if you can!

Look at dem sales charts? The revenue that the game brings in would be put in the top 10 sales every week.
