10 Video Games That Sold WAY Better Than You Think
2. Euro Truck Simulator 2
If you're not a fan of simulator games, it's easy to underestimate just how damn popular they actually are, and the king of the genre is unmistakably 2012's beloved Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Though vehicle sims tend to have little appeal outside of their strictly defined niche, ETS2 is a little different, given that it isn't quite as beholden to peerless realism and infuriating mundanity as many of its genre siblings.
It is a game that emphasises fun and relaxation above all else, and while you'd scarcely believe it, this has resulted in the game posting a mind-melting 9 million copies sold as of this past March. For context, this makes it one of the best-selling PC games of all time.
This is all the more impressive considering both the game's age and its exclusivity to PC, but with developers SCS Software continuing to offer dogged support, its sales figures will surely keep on truckin' (sorry).
