25 Best Selling Video Games Of All Time - Ranked

9. Minecraft

Sales: 70 million (#3)

Verdict: Since its 2009 alpha release, Minecraft has not only been a sales juggernaut like no other, but it's taken hold as an undeniable pop-culture phenomenon, such that a movie adaptation is currently in pre-production.

Released on a wide variety of platforms and promoting non-linear, creative gameplay, it's little surprise that the sandbox builder has become such a runaway success. Sure, the graphics aren't anything to shout home about, but the art style itself is pleasantly retro, and the sheer fun of creation no doubt makes it this generation's version of Lego.

You need only take a few clicks online to see the utterly insane works people have created in the game, and though not all iterations of the game are created equal, it's tough to argue with the ingeniously addictive gameplay however you're playing it.
