I suspect Minecraft will beat the Super Mario Bros, top spot for 8 years without a sweat. Currently 5 years at number 1 I can't see anything coming close to those humungous Minecraft numbers (not to ignore it still sells as much yearly as it did 5 years ago). Will anybody ever beat Minecraft is the real question now.

They never showed up because there weren't any PS2 games in the 90's. PS2 didn't arrive until 2000 (March Japan, October US) But otherwise you are right, multi-plat games have and will continue to dominate the top spot (I don't believe Minecraft will ever be supplanted as it stands now). As for Nintendo they had some good runs back in the day (90's and with Wii) but today you don't see Switch first-party games with 50%+ attachment making this list and you definitely won't see PS games. With the growth of subscription services we may have to define a new way to count a games' popularity (i.e. unique MAU over sales)

Oh, I didn't expect Tetris to stay in the top :) Although it's a classic. By the way, Tetris is a puzzle video game created in the USSR in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov, a Soviet software engineer. The famous musical theme of Tetris "Korobeiniki" is a Russian folk song of the nineteenth century. Now there is still a Russian game "Аtоmiс Heart" - I haven't played it myself, but many people like it. And the music there is great.

I think my older brother even has our old NES laying around somewhere in storage. Been at least a decade since we pulled that old thing out. Edit: Damn, the fact that the original Super Mario Bros and Pac Man are still in the top ten and still "selling" is amazing.
