5 Games Breaking Sales Records This Generation
Monster Hunter World
The game proved a hit not only in Japan, but across the world, and within only two months of its release it managed to blow past developer Capcom’s expectations and sell over 7.5 million copies.
God of War
Not only did it exceed publisher Sony’s expectations, but it managed to sell over 3.1 million units in its first three days of availability, making it the fastest selling PlayStation 4 title of all time.
Spider-Man
It’s no surprise, then, that the game has smashed records left and right in the few weeks since its release, rising to the top of the list for fastest-selling Marvel games of all time within only three days.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
It came as a surprise though, when the long-time king of Zelda game sales Ocarina of Time was recently dethroned as the best selling title of all time in Japan by the recent Nintendo Switch game Breath of the Wild.
Pokémon Sun and Moon
As one of the most valuable properties in the world, the Pokémon franchise is no stranger to record-breaking sales. It did come as a surprise, however, when the latest entries in the series, Sun and Moon, smashed past expectations to become the biggest launch in the series’ history back in 2016. Within the first month alone, the game’s tropical region and new takes on some of the series’ classic monsters drew in enough players to sell 3.7 million units, blitzing past the original record holders Black and White. Not only that, but it continued to sell impressively for a current grand total of 16.12 million copies, currently resting in the number three slot for best selling 3DS titles of all time.
