Minecraft vs GTA V vs Tetris: Who Really Holds Gaming's Sales Crown?

Minecraft's 350M copies hold the Guinness crown, GTA V is closing on 230M, and Tetris claims 520M — but only if you let it count every version since 1984.

The top 3

  1. The Crown Fight: 350M vs 230M vs a Disputed 520M: Guinness names Minecraft (350M copies) the best-selling game ever — Tetris's 520M counterclaim leans on 425M mobile downloads spread across dozens of versions.
  2. Hardware Throne: PS2's 160M Record Is Finally in Danger: PlayStation 2 still leads all consoles at just over 160M units — but in February 2026 the Nintendo Switch passed the DS and now sits only about 6M behind.
  3. Fastest Launches: $1 Billion in Three Days and the 10M Club: GTA V hit $1 billion in three days in 2013 — the fastest entertainment launch ever — while Black Myth: Wukong, Zelda: TotK, and Pokémon each moved 10M in a weekend.
