Highest grossing games?

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 Most people said it to be an outdated list.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.

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

I believe it was HALO 2

RE4 was in there somewhere.

units sold rather than money made

gives you some info...but with it being wikipedia it isn't definite

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.

Top selling games from all platforms.

Super Mario Bros. (NES - 40 Million*)
Tetris (Game Boy - 33 Million*)
Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES - 18 Million)
Super Mario World (SNES - 17 Million)

Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES - 10 Million)
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PS2 - 8.5 Million)

Half-Life (PC - 8 Million)

Final Fantasy VII (PS1 - 7.8 Million)
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64 - 7.6 Million)
GoldenEye 007 (N64 - 7.4 Million)
Myst (PC - 7 Million)
Gran Turismo 3 (PS2 - 7 Million)
Halo 2 (Xbox - 6.3 Million)

Nice list

Aka... those are good games.

=\ 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.

Same here 😬
Gets repetitive deep into the game. Alien guns suck.
