Gaming is huge. It generated just over $180 billion in revenue last year. There’s something for everyone, from competitive multiplayer experiences like League of Legends or World of Warcraft to story-driven titles such as The Witcher or the Yakuza franchise.
There are however a few games that are so huge, no other title can match them. Below is a list of them all.
Let’s just get to the bottom of this!

The Super Mario games have sold more than 500 million copies since their debut in the 1980s. There are many Mario games that you can play today, each one being incredibly entertaining in its own way.
Call of Duty
You’ve likely played at least one COD installment if you are a fan of first-person shooters. It is a hugely popular game that doesn’t seem like it will be slowing down. It was the first installment, which launched in 2003 and has been breaking records every since.
