25 Best Selling Video Games Of All Time - Ranked

23. Wii Sports

Sales: 82.69 million (#2)

Verdict: Bundle a game with the console that everyone wants to get their hands on and see what happens. If you've ever played a Wii, there's a good chance you've played this game, which features five motion-controlled sports games: tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing.

While Wii Play felt like a rudimentary demo, Wii Sports is much more successful in its own right: the mechanics of each game are well-honed, and playing against a buddy or two is both fun and addictive. Sure, it didn't have particularly impressive visuals even in 2006, and it probably wasn't worth buying if it didn't come bundled with your console, but it managed to be a broadly entertaining multiplayer game nevertheless.
