A bit confused on what beats WoW, I can think of franchises, but not a single game. 

Depends entirely on what we're considering 'success'.  If it's profitability, Minecraft isn't even in the top 10.  Warcraft (as of 2015's estimates) is 4th.

Gotta remember, for decades, those cabinets were in many, many types of stores, not just arcades.  Pizza/Hamburger joints etc.... Space Invaders was everywhere.

Well I counted that as an Arcade as well, I didn't mean Arcade the location, I meant Arcades as the box thingy.

Wow.

There's less than five games that can claim to be more successful than Minecraft. And wow is one of them.

A bit confused on what beats WoW success, I can think of franchises, but not a single game. League comes close, but I do not know if it can beat 10 million people paying monthly fees. 

I said that there was less than five who were more successful than Minecraft, not more successful thab wow.
I can only think of one game that's possibly more successful than Wow and that's the first Super Mario Brothers, because it rocketed the NES platform which in turn made lots of profits.



I LOVE ICELAND!

I think World of Warcraft.




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

It's amazing that the highest grossing games still to this day are the arcades.

That people putting quarters into an insanely expensive machine brought more revenue than subscription MMOs is interesting to say the least.
