The Best-Selling Videogame Franchises of All Time
(N4G Wii)

Paste: Popularity isnt a sign of quality. Some of the best games ever bombed at retail, and some of the best-selling games of all time arent worth the storage space theyd take up on your hard drive. Popularity does offer a glimpse of what our culture values, though, and Ill let you decide what the best-selling games of all time say about the world we live in today and the culture that has arisen around videogames. If youre tempted to land on some kind of grand unified theory about violent videogames, though, please note that Tetris, Minecraft, The Sims, and a few sports games are on this list. Its not all guns, swords, and sentient mushroom squashing.
