Top 100 of best selling physical video games in 2017

GfK have revealed their list of the top 100 best-selling games of the last year, showing that FIFA 18 has come out on top.

The top 100 best-selling games list has seen a lot of movement in the last few weeks, a lot of which can be attributed to sales over the holiday period. Physical games such as FIFA 18 are packaged with consoles and that’s where a lot of games have made the additional sales that moved them up the list.

Call of Duty: WW2 is second on the top 100 list, helped in part by the now expected sales milestones the series famously hits. On Xbox One alone the game was the best-selling, but other consoles have pushed FIFA 18 over the edge.

Amazingly Grand Theft Auto 5, despite being almost 5 years old at this point, is third in the chart. The game saw the most players ever in the online mode, GTA Online, in December 2017. Rockstar Games also announced that 2017 was the best year they’ve ever seen in terms of number of players and revenue generated from players.

Assassin’s Creed Origins is in fourth position. The game released at end of October 2017, meaning it’s had to sell well to make it to this position. The extra year of development time that Ubisoft took to break the cycle of yearly releases in this series, as well as allow time to finish and polish the game, has clearly paid off.

Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is in sixth position. Considering the game is a Playstation 4 exclusive it says a lot about the power nostalgia has to sell a product. Star Wars: Battlefront 2 has made it to fifth place despite the controversy surrounding the loot boxes in it.

Two Nintendo Switch games just missed out on making it into the top 10 of the chart. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition sits in eleventh place while Super Mario Odyssey is in twelfth. This could have something to do with the fact that there were a number of stock issues for the console throughout 2017, meaning all consumers who wanted one have one.
