Note that the lists exclude arcade coin drops, mobile downloads, and online subscriptions. Paid mobile downloads are excluded because they typically cost around $1-5 each, whereas console and PC games typically cost around $20-70 each. It would be an apples-to-oranges comparison to list them together, so paid mobile downloads are listed separately.
Single-platform sales
This table lists the best-selling games on a single platform. It does not include combined sales of cross-platform games (such as Madden NFL, for example) or free mobile downloads.
