Grand Theft Auto V, Minecraft and Mario Kart 8 are the leggiest games of the decade (NPD)

[vestan]

Thanks Mat.

Mario Kart 8 includes both the Wii U and Switch versions. Seeing Siege on that list is kind of a surprise lol, in a good way though. I know it's been doing well but it never really set in HOW well, ya know? What a turnaround from launch, lol.

GTAV has the hairiest, biggest, buffest, meatiest legs I've ever done seen.

The King of Karts

 

[Kolx]

How far GTA:V and Minecraft from the reset is insane. Basically doubling their closest competitor.

 

[Video Games Are Dumb]

Leggiest? Sir, around here we call them gams. As in "Look at those gams!"

 

[Doogdogg]

Mk8 has to slowed down at some point, especially NPD doesn't have digital numbers for it.

 

[Bitanator]

No MK 9 ever

 

[Raijinto]

BotW.

What a monumental success.

 

[Yearsoflurking]

Minecraft for 2.5 billion is a steal in hindsight jesus

 

[zma1013]

The real news here is seeing a Tom Clancy game in there. Seige be doing good steady numbers I guess.

 

[fiendcode]

Where's that Polygon chart again?

Well both games have been around the entire decade basically.

But impressive nonetheless

 

[mreddie]

GTA V has those LEGS

Top 10 for like 5-6 years?

A Legend of Zelda game with legs.

I never thought I'd see the day.

 

[Pimienta]

Breath of the Wild is amazing. Most, if not all, Zelda games drop after the initial release.

Tom Clancy Rainbow Six Siege

All are incredibly impressive, but BotW really stands out to me because it's the only non-multiplayer-oriented game here (I assume GTA Online is a huge reason for that game's continued success). Single player games almost never have legs, let alone for over two and a half years.

 

[cw_sasuke]

BotW is the most impressive game since it single player only and pretty much on a single console.

Still selling at full price.

 

[NSESN]

Seeing a Zelda in this list and not a single Mario platform game, 2d or 3d, is really weird

 

[patientx]

Read that as laggiest and thought well mario kart sure didnt feel that laggy !

add a multiplayer mode, Nintendo

 

[Luke88]

Finally Zelda gets the sales it deserves, from a somewhat mid-tier Nintendo IP sales-wise to one of the best selling ones

The the case for pretty much every single player game ...these kind of legs don't really happen.

Not many of the post OoT and pre BotW games would have deserved these kind of numbers or where on a system successful enough for realize such a performance.

 

[Oregano]

Breath of the Wild is going to send up selling about 6x times as many copies as Skyward Sword did.

Not too shabby.

What a steal Mojang was for MS, unreal

Two Nintendo titles in Top 5. Crazy.

They have managed the franchise well too.

 

[SmittyWerbenManJensen]

Absolute beasts.

 

[Aaronrules380]

I wonder how these would compare if we adjusted based on release date. Like percentage of weeks since release on the chart for games over a year old

Miku would be proud.

 

[CountAntonio]

ah by sales. I was thinking Rocket league as far as playtime goes. It was also in the top ten on steam for years.

 

[SecondNature]

Not as leggy as those games Im sure, but Overwatch and Siege's support has been tremendous and quite leggy

 

[Deleted member 51691]

Minecraft is a forever game

It will never die

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

BotW.

What a monumental success.

Especially with no major price drop, no release on new platforms, no persistent online play, etc etc etc.

That is a miracle.

 

[Dark Cloud]

BotW is insane for a single player game and recently in 2017

Truly open World, go anywhere Zelda is best Zelda!

 

[Deleted member 58846]

Man, Breath of the Wild being there stands out so much. It's an incredible amount of sales for a single player only game, and in the end, the only thing that can be responsible for that on such a long basis is word of mouth.

Well deserved for what might be the greatest game ever made.

could you imagine, with Dark Souls style expansions? the game would be mega.

20 million LTD?

 

[Zojirushi]

The what now?

 

[legend166]

Minecraft is probably the most impressive thing on the list considering it's got the lowest price and NPD rank on revenue.
