Minecraft is number 1. I'm surprised GTA V beats Tetris though, pretty wild.

- capableweb 5y agoI don't know who's "number 1" but deadalus is talking about revenue, while the page you linked seems to be about copies sold. GTA seems more expensive to buy than Minecraft so you might both be right but about different things.
- derac 5y agoThat wouldn't be gta 5 either, but best-selling means copies sold, not profit. https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_video_games https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_vid...
- colinmhayes 5y agoI don't think minecraft has microtransactions though. I don't think a quarter billion sales is $6 billion.
- bastardoperator 5y agoYou can't buy in game money with minecraft and it initially sold for 12 dollars. GTA5 gets almost full price across each platform coupled with in game purchases. Sure, minecraft sold more licenses, but I have no doubts GTA5 is the cash cow here.
