Will Minecraft soon become the greatest selling game ever?
If you look at the list of best selling games of all time, Minecraft is ranked 3rd best selling, beaten only by Wii Sports (which kinda cheated), and Tetris.
So first, look at the list - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_b ... ideo_games
Then answer this: Do you think Minecraft will become the best selling game of all time?
Personally, I think it can. Minecraft is as famous as ever, and there's no sign of slowing down.

Princess_CoronaI think Minecraft is here to stay for quite awhile. Or at least until Microsoft screws Mojang over like they did with Rare. :/
Ooooooooooh yeah.
Let's hope Minecraft doesn't go down the same path as Banjo Kazooie and Conkers.

I don't know about that. I will only see Minecraft going out when they eventually stop updating and adding new content. Games with DLC or updates with content are pretty high right now, ie: Super Smash Bros. 4, Hyrule Warriors, Mario Kart 8, App Games, etc. But additionally not only has the game reached over 20,000,000 copies sold on PC alone, the recent Minecon in London became a Guinness World Record for largest attendance of a convention for a single video game with 10,000 tickets sold.

nope i don't think so, cause soon minecraft will begin to die out within 5 or so years, sue to the fact all it takes is a bunch of youtubers to switch games and a bunch will follow.

I think it will, especially since the hololens made it look amazing at E3 plus all the new things they are adding all the time, really opens it up for a wide variety of gamers

New people are buying the game everyday, so I don't see why not. There are endless things to do such as mods, servers, etc.

Considering the other games are no longer being sold as far as I know, while Minecraft will likely have the option to buy it long after it's lost popularity and died out (which I don't see happening for a while due to reasons stated earlier), I think it actually has a chance.
It'll probably take at least a few more years though. We'll have to wait and see.

I think it will easily get to #2 slot, but with tetris holding #1, it might be pretty difficult to take that slot.

Minecraft will eventually die out. But it'll have a slow death because of YouTubers. Why was everyone hating on COD? Sure they are copies of the game that get released every year but it's still kinda fun. MW2 RepZ is still fun. I've also played Advanced Warfare when it was free... Ok I admit, Battlefield 4 is better.

As long a Mojang AB / Microsoft doesn't do anything stupid, like Jagex of Runescape, such as changing the game ( and changing / or adding game rules ) so often that the game doesn't even feel like what it was when you played it in the first place. As long as that doesn't happen and the improvements and the add-ons work and nothing changes the way the game is played - Minecraft should last. Its a good thing that Minecraft is a sandbox game and not a MMORPG.

How are minecraft sales dying? Last i checked they havent been going down, atleast not a year ago and i still see people buying it every day, so far 11k people have bought minecraft today
keep in mind the different platforms there are, i see many more kids with minecraft on their parents ipads more recently.

Is this graph showing cumulative sales? Because if it is that's totally useless. You need something showing the average sales each month from release.
1
No. Minecraft sales are dying. GTA 5 was 6th last time I checked, and may even overtake Minecraft. Maybe.
1
I think it could. As long as Scoot Cowthong sarcasm doesn't spam the 'realease another pointless game' button.
1
As long as the game continues to receive updates and kids continue to have friends, with ease.
1
Probably in a few years, unless GTA6 comes out.
1
Yeah, with ease it'll just take time.

The one reason why Tetris is #1 is due to the Gameboy. But even then, it is probably not including the Gameboy Tetris. Wii Sports ain't cheating however, as all console bundled games get one sold per console sold, plus special edition bundles that don't include the standard bundled game make it not cheating.
Plus, looking at the list, why no love for Linux?

the game boy version sold 35 million which is a little back from minecraft. The top one has 100 milion installs. They come pre-installed with alot of phones. If we count all the phones get shipped with pre installed tetris...

Probably not. COD kids will be a thing forever.

Maybe if you actually played COD instead of watching videos that have little kids, you'd know that the vast majority of the community is adults.
And no, I don't think so. All games die out. Minecraft has been out for quite some time now, and it might hit the point where people just stop playing and get bored, making the sales of the game decrease. This will be a while though, because of YouTubers and that sort of thing, but I don't think it will get that close to the top again.

Are you sure they're not kid squids? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

But if they are they need to come on and splatatatatata

why does everyone hate call of duty? sure the communities bad but there's a mute button for a reason.

I don't like CoD but I may be biased considering I am absolutely terrible at that game... And I mean really, really bad.
Anyway, before I get sidetracked again, I think it is very possible that Minecraft could do it. You never know what will happen to public interest.

The amount of truth in that sentence is staggering.

People buy Tetris?
1
Yeah, Tetris is sorta fun.

I like Tetris But i like minecraft Way MORE! Like Way More!

I personally don't trust any info from Wikipedia. I think Minecraft could potentially be #1 best selling at some point though.

You don't have to. There's a list of sources at the bottom of most wikipedia pages.
