Borderlands being second is insane,considering I never even seen any kind of gameplay from one of these games.

I love Borderlands and I’m surprised it’s second

when you go outside, and talk to people this chart makes alot more sense…

Would this graph change any if it averaged how many games were in the series?

Borderlands actually surprises me a lot

I think the only reason Battlefield has only 88 millions and not ~300-400 is just because DICE love to reinvent the wheel and they don’t have a pipeline to release a game every year.
forevertired1982
Bot surprising when there’s over 20 cod games so its pretty obvious that as a franchise it would rank higher than games which only have 6 games.

CoD releasing a new game every year (or half year) certainly helps “sales.”
Half-Life had 2 games.
Counter Strike is ancient.
Medal of Honor died off after their last attempt to compete with Battlefield and CoD.
Battlefront was abandoned after 2 games.
Destiny has 2 games and is fairly old now.
Like – I could go on. Most of these games don’t have 10 to their name, but CoD has what? More than 20? Quantity =/= Quality.

Borderlands being second is a wonderful surprise
NeedsSomeSnare
Half Life 2 alone has sold 29 million on Steam. There were also 2 episodes and half life 1 of course, as well as console releases.
This makes me think that all the figures here are very poorly sourced.
throwawaynumber45a
Bioshock made the list??? Wow
Tooster
No Doom? I’m surprised
ZenithXNadir
It’s crazy pubg and fortnight sold more
ZeeBuffer
I’d like to see this graph as average number of sales per game. Call of Duty went annual and they’ve had more than 20 “mainline” games now.

Man seeing Halo low on this list is such a shame. 343i did not carry on that torch well at all.
AssistantElegant6909
I thought Halo would be higher
Brash_Attack
We are on Call of Duty 75 or something by now. Borderlands is at 4.
Cloud_N0ne
Borderlands being above Halo and Battlefield is kinda insane
lawlianne
Wikipedia being cited as a source is a thing my teachers would grill us for back in the day.
FrostyFootLong
There is no way CS is that low
Toothless-In-Wapping
CoD: 23 games.
BL: 4.
savagesaint
Ok, but do it as sales per capita, or whatever you would call it. I want to see sales divided by number of game releases.
InfinityPainPlus
The exact reason why COD is now literally the same game with just different pay-to-win skins every year. they know idiots will buy it over and over again even though nothing has changed.
Supernova_Soldier
Only one legit surprising is Borderlands, I expected COD to be in first, matter of fact, anything other than first is crazy ngl
badwords
Doom, Quake and Unreal Tournament oddly not on this list.
Minions-overlord
A quick google says there is 23 CoD games. Divide the 500 by 23 and you have just shy of 22 units per game. Quantity of games boosting their numbers
DramaExpertHS
I love Bioshock but I doubt it sold more than Half-Life even if it’s 3 games against 2.
matt602
kinda surprised that medal of honor is even on that list still considering that franchise has been dead for the better part of the last 20 years. I guess I didn’t realize how popular it was back in the day before call of duty was a thing.
Elfeniona
I’m not even gonna bother why it’s first, same shit for almost 20 years, the ultimate sports game clone
Logical_Cicada_2854
COD is like
“The air is different up here”
chargeorge
Destiny number seems suspect to me. What are they counting here? 25 million each purchased d1 and d2? Individual expansion purchases? The original source is in Portuguese so I can’t tell
DifficultCarob408
Surprised with both Borderlands being that high, and Halo not being higher (despite being an xbox exclusive).
Cyberwolfdelta9
suprised BL is second
SQUIDWARD360
If you read a post in the cod sub they say cod is dead.
LuxEfren
I can’t stand borderlands. And this just data just makes me sad cause there will never be Brothers in Arms because borderlands is making them too much money.
Come on, Randy Pitchford and Gearbox Software. Just give me another Brother in Arms games.
Cheesetorian
Guaranteed they’ll still be complaining how “expensive creating games” and up the price AND increase microtransactions.
We know why…because y’all will buy their slop regardless.
fhkyou
I wonder if counter strike is so low because it’s free. It’s constantly on top of the charts for steam db and it’s not even close
underratedtired
Medal of Honor, now thats a name I haven’t heard in a long time. It is missed
Calibruh
Some of these numbers are outdated af, like literally 10 years
CSGO alone sold 29M copies before it went f2p, total franchise is 70M+
This is why we don’t use Wikipedia as a source.
Metalicks
Aren’t there like 30 CODs compared to less than ten for everything else?
astrozombie2012
How the fuck is Doom not on there at all… unfuckinbelievable!
Reylo-Wanwalker
It’s still crazy to me BioShock was so successful. It’s like an art house game and typically niche in genre as an immersive sim and horror game.

And what has it done, other than devolve into a Fortnite wannabe or becoming the Madden of shooters?
