Videocast: Top 10 Best Selling Console Games
Published on October 12, 2008 - 22 Comments
This week’s videocast, courtesy of Paulb, our resident brilliant videocast maker, covers our Top 10 Best Selling Console Games. A console game is a form of interactive multimedia used for entertainment. The game consists of manipulable images (and usually sounds) generated by a game console, and displayed on a television or similar audio-video system. The game itself is usually controlled and manipulated using a handheld device connected to the console called a controller. This is a list of the ten best selling console games.
If you want to read the original list after enjoying the great videocast, you can do so here.

hmmm the list is good. To be honest though I think that FF7 should be moved a little further up in the list. I’m not saying this because I’m a fanboy, I’ve never even played the game. However I’d like to point out the time period here. In 1997 it was laughable to play RPG’s..I mean honestly? just about everything was mario related, or, as can be seen, gran turismo (still a shocker for me.) lol. Anyways yeah..most games that were played in the 90’s were racing games or mario related games..occasionally even movie based games. The fact that an RPG came out in the 90’s that had nothing to do with mario and STILL sold almost 10 million copies should be notable enought o bump it up a little, despite the numbers.

The problem with this list, is everything is subjective to the time they were released… Obviously games released longer ago will have sold more, and games recently releaesd will have sold more faster..since gaming is a lot bigger than now it use to be

I’m surprised so many GTA games got on the list. I think it’s because it’s a console-only list, though. GTA is outsold by Mario and Pokemon all the time. The original Super Mario Brothers sold over 43 million copies, but it was bundled with the NES.

So the whole list is made up of 5 different games, the other 5 are just sequals to games already on the list? That sucks.
Also although youd think that more would be sold of the earlier versions the latest of each of those games seem to outsell the previous ones (GT3 and GTA SA)

How about adding a simple text list to accompany the video list? No offense, but I don’t always feel like watching an 8-minute YouTube video when I could have just gleaned a text list in 30 seconds.

I felt that there a lot of game squeals and games that sold 11 million copies. if you could find a wider range in copies sold there would probably more variety in games

nice!

Renegade-
Even though the title clearly says “Best Selling Console Games”? That would defeat the purpose of the list completely.

Super Mario Bros. for the regular nintendo outsold almost all of these combined! one of the greatest games of all time. I think it sold almost 50 million copies! NO JOKE!
14. Paulb - October 13th, 2008 at 11:22 am
ohrmets, yeah thats a my bad on my part. It should have been shorter.
schiesl, The original super mario bro’s was bundled with the NES, thats why it doesn’t count. Also I didn’t make the list.

hey Paul,great job, keep it up! Listversers can’t wait for your next installment!!
17. Kadaj - October 14th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Nice list. I think that videocasts from movies would be cool, since there is a lot of material to use…
See ya.
18. DK - October 16th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Excellent job once again Paul:) Keep em coming!
19. Avid - October 16th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
For the date this was posted…i’m finding this way wrong. Halo 3? GTAIV?
20. Ellen - October 17th, 2008 at 2:46 am
woah- pokémon is not on this list??? I thought it would be for sure. I mean everyone was playing that game, even me. And I’ve barely heard of Gran Turismo.
I’m also kind of sad that no Zelda game is on this list…they’re my favourite games.
21. G Note - October 20th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
I think the list would have been better if no games of the same series were listed. Just pick the hightest selling of that particular series. My 2 cents.
