embrace it
whatever you say doc welcome to watch
mojo and today we'll be counting down
our picks for the top 10 best-selling
video games of all time
for this list we'll be going over the
highest selling video games ever made to
be clear multiple version releases of
the same game are counted for each entry
if there's a blockbuster game with big
numbers that we forgot sell us your
opinions figuratively down below
[Music]
number 10 red dead redemption 2. i was
thinking yeah does it pay well yeah it
says a lot about the kind of numbers
we're dealing with when a blockbuster
hit like red dead 2 only barely makes
our list this highly anticipated western
open world game had so much hype around
it that it had the second fastest
selling launch in the history of
entertainment we'll get the first later
but it wasn't just its opening numbers
that were good red dead redemption 2
maintained its ability to sell well
having sold a total of around 43 million
copies to date that's quite the score
for arthur and the gang and for players
as well who have enjoyed this rich
rewarding western story they expressly
told me not to kill you
oh this is about you number nine we fit
and we fit plus stand straight and try
to keep your bottom tucked in
you weren't expecting this were you
exercise equipment is big business and
an exercise video game for the wii one
of the best selling video game systems
was bound to do well with wii fit and
its slightly enhanced version wii fit
plus players are taken through various
aerobic and yoga exercises using the wii
balance board and an easy to use
interface this made it popular not only
with individual consumers but also with
gyms and other fitness centers around
the world combined wii fit and wii fit
plus sold 43.8 million units and they
say gamers don't exercise try to keep
your center of balance within the yellow
area number eight pokemon red and blue
and pokemon yellow
[Music]
shockingly these are the only pokemon
games on our list released in various
colors with slight differences in the
last years of the 20th century the first
generation of pokemon games took the
world by storm it may seem old hat by
now but collecting all the adorable and
or awesome pocket monsters and trading
or battling them with or without your
friends was a total game changer in
addition to the massive franchise that
sprung up around them the og pokemon
titles put out 47.5
million copies while game freak and
nintendo didn't manage to catch us all
they did catch a lot of us and we caught
the pokemon bug and bug pokemon
number seven mario kart 8 and mario kart
8 deluxe
first released on the wii u and then
ported to an enhanced version mario kart
8 deluxe on the switch mario kart 8 has
been the de facto mario kart game for
eight years running with its gorgeous
graphics orchestral soundtrack numerous
racers online multiplayer and now even
dlc with tracks from past entries in the
series mario kart 8 is the ultimate in
party racing games no wonder it has sold
51 million copies and counting nintendo
will have a tough time improving on both
its great content and on its spectacular
sales
[Music]
number six super mario bros
[Music]
mario may still be one of the biggest
names in video games if not the biggest
but one of his first games is still his
best selling super mario bros in
addition to revolutionizing 2d
platforming and being many kids first
exposure to video gaming is often
praised with helping save the video game
industry after its 1983 crash its sales
were certainly helped by the fact that
many nez units were sold with super
mario bros packaged along with them that
plus its numerous re-releases have
helped this genre-defining platformer
sell around 58 million copies that's a
lot of coins
[Music]
number five pubg
while the model for battle royale games
has shifted to free to play player
unknown's battleground success is far
from unknown pubg may no longer be the
biggest name in battle royale games but
because its biggest competitor has
always been free it remains the best
selling 75 million copies have been sold
thus far with its free mobile version
exceeding a billion downloads pubg's
cutthroat addicting gameplay pits
players against each other in an
ever-shrinking map with the goal to be
the only player remaining it's a fun
concept and one which players were eager
to pay to experience
number 4 wii sports
nice
[Applause]
the wii was a definite game changer when
it came out the system illustrated that
motion controls were not only viable but
fun for anyone to pick up and play with
wii sports is essentially proof of
concept allowing players to play a
variety of sports games virtually and
from their homes it's the wii game that
nearly everyone played mostly because it
came packaged with the wii sure it's a
great game but when practically every
week comes with it it's hardly
surprising that wii sports hit a home
run with over 82 million copies sold
number three grand theft auto 5. i'm
stuck talking to you because no one else
gives a oh i'm living the dream
baby we're in the all-timers of the
all-timers now one of the most highly
anticipated releases of any piece of
content gta 5 broke all kinds of records
making a billion dollars in three days
remember how we said we'd talk about the
fastest selling launch yeah this was it
the game didn't just sell quickly it
sold like gangbusters it sold
160 million copies that's almost twice
the last entry gta 5 is an open world
game so massive and definitive it still
doesn't have a sequel almost a decade
later when it does finally get one we
could easily see it exceeding gta 5 in
sales wait a minute
oh girl
oh hey how much further
we ain't even going five yards yet i
know i'm just asking number two
minecraft
it was only a matter of time minecraft
is a juggernaut of video games the
ultimate sandbox game minecraft lets you
make and do almost anything not only can
you construct buildings and other
creations galore but there are also
plenty of games within the game it's
essentially an unlimited game of virtual
building blocks but with more structured
challenges too it's become a cultural
phenomenon so the only surprising thing
is that it hasn't sold more even so
238 million copies is nothing to sneeze
at if we'd restricted our entries to
single games with no variance minecraft
could very well have taken the top spot

number one tetris
simplicity often goes hand in hand with
success and few games are as basic as
tetras arranging various blocks to form
lines as an increasing rate is so simple
yet so addictive if it isn't the most
widely played puzzle game it's certainly
the best selling tetris has been remade
and ported to dozens of consoles for
nearly 40 years usually with few if any
changes to its core gameplay because
it's so widespread it has managed to
sell at least
425 million copies until someone devises
a better puzzle game or another existing
game catches up we don't see how any
game can stack up to tetris
