Forza Horizon is on there because it's made by a UK-developer. Gran Turismo is not.
Are you serious? lol

SMH. Reading is hard.
This list will be pretty much the same everywhere except for Japan.This is a pretty depressing list. Sorry everyone, I'll buy a million copies of something decent soon to balance the scales.

It did under 600k considering that last list, so could be close to under half what it did on the PS4 in the UKThe biggest surprise to me is that RDR2 was not a million+ seller on the Xbox One.
I think that has more to do with the market for games growing dramatically in the last two decades. For example, the original Tomb Raider games had a way larger market share in the 90s than the Tomb Raider reboot has had (I mean, the games were freaking huge back then - everyone was talking about them even outside of gaming), yet the Tomb Raider reboot sold a larger number of copies. That's because, nowadays, there are simply more people playing games so it's easier to sell those kinds of numbers and it also takes far more sales now to reach the same kind of relevancy.Million sellers by platform:
X360: 15
Wii: 10
PS3: 9
PS4: 8
DS: 4
PS2: 4
XBO: 3
Just shows how sales are concentrating more and more to the smaller amount of big games. PS2 only with 4 million sellers despite insane sw sales and PS1 doesn't have a single million seller.
I find it hard to believe that no single Pokémon game has hit 1,000,000 units and that Goldeneye 007 (alongside other Rare games) did not reach 600,000. Everybody and their mother had a copy of that game.
Come to think of it, you are totally right. I bought a US copy of Ruby from my local game shop and I recall watching a friend play a translated Japanese ROM of Gold/Silver before the monsters even had English names.Most people bought import copies of Pokemon back in the day; the European releases were comically late. Until the GBA came along, we were at least a whole year behind the US with all Pokemon releases!
Even your average mainstream game retailler used to just sell the US versions of the GB/GBC games because their European releases were so comically mishandled.
Weirdly enough, I can remember loads of people having a copy of Colin McRae Rally.
So Fifa is on a decline? You'd think 18/19 would outsell 16/17 with the higher install base.
Well for years Nintendo used to delay stuff for several months, often a year, so people buy imports, and when the games do finally release in the UK the imports are usually significantly cheaper still. Pretty much all the Nintendo games on the list are games bundled with hardware.Where are Pokémon games? Even with dual versions counted separately they should be there

Still, not a single Pokémon game to sell more than a million units?!

It's likely that the two versions mainline Pokemon games usually come with are counted separately.I find it hard to believe that no single Pokémon game has hit 1,000,000 units and that Goldeneye 007 (alongside other Rare games) did not reach 600,000.

Well, it´s the exact same shit every year. At some point people just have to get tired of it.So Fifa is on a decline? You'd think 18/19 would outsell 16/17 with the higher install base.
I mean, it's football. And a pretty darn good game series.
SMH. Reading is hard.
Anyway, these charts are physical only, so they're missing way too much data for anyone to make comparisons between the number of million sellers last gen to this gen.
Edit: FIFA going from charting on both PS4 and XB1 with 16/17 to only on PS4 with 18/19 is interesting as that's when the marketing deal went from Microsoft to Sony. So I guess that shows the power of those marketing deals and bundles.
