Best Selling Games of last 15 years in US
Best Selling Games of last 15 years in US

Even when looking at sales data over the last 15 years, the industry's best-selling games have all debuted after 2001.
To get a grip on the titles that have dominated the U.S. market, we asked NPD Group to provide a list of top-selling games across all platforms, including PCs, game consoles and handheld gaming gizmos through the end of April. To avoid the distortions created by inflation and the vagaries of pricing, we ranked the results by units sold rather than dollars raked in.
