I used the search function and found one thread with a list of 20 games. Most people said it to be an outdated list. Does anybody have link to, or know what the CURRENT numbers would look like? Much appreciated.

No, but I'm going to guess Halo 2 and Half-Life 2 are up there.

darth_royke
san andreas is prob the highest.. halo, vice city, perhaps a fifa or something...

RE4 was in there somewhere.

Fascinating list. I'd pretty much agree with that

So GTA San Andreas or Halo 2 are the best selling games for our generation. While Super Mario Bros 3 is still the best ever? Your a worthy bastard Mario, worthy indeed.

=\ i still think halo is over rated

figures tetris is up there. weird how it was made to keep scientists busy (or soemthing to that extent)

Halo is definitely overrated.

I don't see the huge uniqueness of it from any other online shooter.

Gets repetitive deep into the game. Alien guns suck.

Go Mario.

GTA popularity is like the next Mario. 12 million on the ps2 alone is amazing. Its even more with PC and X-box.
