Uncharted 4 - the biggest masterpiece 2016, awesome game : )
How is GTA V still selling so well? It's been three years and five platforms, who doesn't have this game already? XD
I don't. Waiting for it as a free game on PsPlus.
Ditto
Double dip.
Are these proper official numbers or just Vgchartz numbers?
What impresses me most about this list is that GTAV is so big, Black Ops sold 4.15 in 2016 when it came out in 2015 and how many copies Battlefield 1 sold when comparing it to Infinite Warfare. CoD is still popular but if they continue on their current style they will fail... infact, even if they go back they may have already lost a certain amount of players.
Software sales on ps4 are amazing. 1 Ten million seller, uncharted beasting and FFXV doing very well.
Not sure battlefield has ever done this well on PS before. And cod as a series sold over 10m on ps4 this year.
How in the bloody blazes did COD: Infinite 'Welfare' sell so much...
facepalm
The list ends at #2
Just ONE japanese game, made to please the western fans. Oh boy that's sad.
List is heavy with gunplay and lacks swordplay. Hopefully 2017 fixes this...
I wholeheartedly agree.
Uncharted 4...Well deserved...
FIFA finally crossed 10 million milestone on a single platform this year...Great achievement...Will probably reach 12 million lifetime sales for FIFA 17 on ps4
Half of that is uninspired shooters and copy-pasta sports. I am disappointed in gamers as a whole.
Another person who wont let other people enjoy what they want to enjoy!
And how long have you been around...? ;)
