We can't use that source for this list, as it is total sells across all platforms. This list requires PC-specific sales. -- ferret (talk) 12:34, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]


PUBG sale data includes both PC and XBOX sale data

The article cited for the Player Unknown's Battlegrounds sale data states that they sold a combined 50m copies across both PC and XBOX. Actual PC only sales data is not broken out.

"With Xbox and PC sales combined, PUBG has now sold over 50 million units worldwide."

Here's the developer note the cited article is referencing: https://steamcommunity.com/games/578080/announcements/detail/3077529898697959073 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6c51:7e7f:ee4c:8c17:58dd:f327:ec56 (talk) 14:40, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

i'm new here, so i dont know where is the correct place to ask, but why isn't GTA 5 on this list?

it has sold a lot of copis on all platforms and i imagine it would be at least 5-10 million on PC alone — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.39.79.147 (talk) 00:16, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's basically why it's not here. We don't know. They haven't announced PC sales independent of total sales. -- ferret (talk) 00:26, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fall Guys

Can someone add fall guys to this list. Multiple sources have said Fall Guys has sold around 7 Million copies, which is more than enough to be added to this list. Examples: https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/368911/Fall_Guys_has_surpassed_7_million_sales_on_Steam.php https://www.ladbible.com/technology/gaming-fall-guys-ultimate-knockout-reaches-amazing-steam-sales-number-20200827

What a mess of list

Considering the dates of the games

  • First, it considers the sales from every source (for example Thexder)
  • then it considers lousy source of information (for example Hydlide), that it also considers the sales of every port.
  • And for this year (2020), we are considering 3 games. Fall Guy (10 million), Cyberpunk 2077 (4.5 million) and Crusader King 3 (1 million). Why Crusader King 3 where there are many games that sold more than 1 million this year?. It looks cherry picked, the same than other games of the list.
