come and get it while they’re hot
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
fastest selling video game products
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at games that sold incredibly
well within their first few weeks in the
market player unknowns battlegrounds may
have been one of the best-selling games
of 2017 but because it took a month to
make its first million it doesn’t
qualify for the list number 10 super
mario odyssey there’s no doubt that the
Nintendo switch has had a stellar first
year Nintendo had a new major release
for almost every month but October 2017
was going to be the biggest we’d be
itching for a new 3d Mario game and
Super Mario Odyssey was giving off a lot
of mario 64 vibes of course once the
game launched Odyssey started selling
like hotcakes Odyssey quickly became the
fastest-selling Super Mario game ever in
the United States and Europe Japan would
be added to that list by the end of 2017
we really missed you our plucky plumber
[Music]
number 9 Pokemon X&Y
[Music]
with each new release the Pokemon
franchise sets new sales records not
just for the franchise but for the
console it releases on so when pokemon
X&Y was gearing up for launch
many were wondering if it would live up
to the hype explore a vast region filled
with Pokemon to catch train and VIP
Frehley well if a game sells four
million copies within 2 days we say it
did this was the first Pokemon game for
the Nintendo 3ds and it came with brand
new Pokemon to collect as well as
beautiful 3d environments the following
titles Sun and Moon fell just short of
matching its predecessors sales numbers
though they were still pretty strong
nonetheless
number eight the elderscrolls v Skyrim
oh good choice well good for me from the
minute we heard that glorious music we
knew Skyrim was going to be a major hit
first off it’s an Elder Scrolls game
it’s got to be awesome right
second it had been five years since the
last major installment in the franchise
since oblivion we had been waiting
eagerly to see the new world possessed
ax was crafting sure enough Skyrim would
go on to sell like wildfire you are the
best septum that’s ever read during its
first week
Skyrim shipped seven million copies
growing to ten million by the end of its
first month we can only imagine the
records that will be broken when Elder
Scrolls 6 comes out I am first to honor
my end of the bargain
so congratulations number 7 Diablo 3 the
Diablo franchise remains to be one of
blizzards biggest franchises yeah Diablo
3 did not have a pretty launch at the
hair of 37 but that didn’t stop us from
nabbing our copies as soon as possible
Diablo 3 didn’t just become one for the
best-selling PC games of all time it
also became the fastest selling PC game
selling about 6.3 million copies within
the first week of launch there’s a lot
of PC games out there and the fact that
Diablo 3 has held the record for six
years is quite the feat
number six Monster Hunter world
[Music]
oh boy monster hunter world is without a
doubt one of the better games to come
out of 2018 so far we just can’t get
enough of tackling quests with our
friends while taking down these
incredible behemoths we’re really hoping
Capcom supports this game for a long
time especially considering the records
the game has broken within three days
the game shipped 5 million units
increasing to 6 million when it reached
2 weeks after launch world became the
fastest selling game in the franchise
and fastest selling Capcom game
something tells us this game will be
around for a couple of years maybe
longer number 5
Nintendo switch when we first saw the
console in October 2016 we knew we were
going to get hooked from the start only
question was how was the rest of the
world going to take the new console well
the world spoke and the Nintendo switch
has become the fastest selling console
in the United States selling just over
five million units within 10 months in
fact it sold so well the Nintendo
struggled to meet demand within that
period considering the previous
record-holder was the Nintendo Wii the
switch has clearly become an entirely
new phenomenon as a bonus its first game
The Legend of Zelda breath of the wild
became the fastest-selling launch title
ever number four Final Fantasy 15 of the
key to evolution
final fantasy 15 spent a heck of a long
time in development when your game has
spent the past decade cooking in the
oven releasing it becomes an incredibly
high risk for your studio little did we
know Square Enix have made sure their
time wasn’t wasted Final Fantasy 15
proved to be one of the best games to
have come out of 2016 it’s a new loop
APIs in the first day the game shipped 5
million units breaking even with
development cost simultaneously with a
deep story intense combat and fun
gameplay gamers were welcoming the new
entry in the franchise with loving arms
come Jojo gets us nowhere
we’re searching for truth number 3
destiny oh man
there’s nothing I hate more than a nail
he wouldn’t know one respect mastering a
new game from the studio behind the Halo
franchise it’s got to be good right well
sort of all depends on who you ask
but anyways destiny was building up a
type and it really paid off I’m not
going to lie to you Guardian you are
Earth’s last hope despite the
shortcomings the game earned around 500
million dollars from retail setting the
record for biggest new franchise launch
of all time and that was on day 1 day 1
something tells us bunging knew they had
a goldmine on their hands and we have to
give a thumbs up to Activision for
taking such a big risk on this new
franchise it doesn’t matter who you were
only what you will become
number two and yes an SNES classic
edition show of hands has anyone ever
seen one of these before no well that’s
not a big surprise because these babies
sell so quick you can barely land a
pre-order on one of these let alone find
one in stores granted part of this
problem comes from stock shortages but
when your product is making headlines
that say product is out of stock and on
multiple occasions
that’s impressive inconvenient for us
but impressive nonetheless don’t get us
wrong keep selling these units just you
know make more please number one grand
theft auto 5 well welcome back man
[Music]
five years after release and Grand Theft
Auto 5 is still ranking into cash within
its first day the game had sold over 11
million copies generating more than 800
million dollars the less said about him
the better that number would grow to 1
billion dollars in sales and that was on
the third day at this point GTA 5 had
become the fastest selling entertainment
product of all time
by the time the game reached at six week
mark developer Rockstar Games had
shipped nearly twenty million copies GTA
5 now holds seven Guinness World Records
some of which include fastest video game
– gross 1 billion dollars and the
fastest entertainment property – gross 1
