Must be including every expansion, as most of them were available in boxed retail DLC packs.

No Rouge Squadron II is shame. It's by far my favorite SW game.

The Fury (on 25 April 2023)

While I understand the LEGO games having staying power, surprised the list is so limited for all time sellers if series is taken into account. No SNES platformers, no Pod Racer, no KOTOR. Nothing older than 2005.

Battlefront 2 (2017) is 9th and sold 9m copies in it's first month. The SNES games, Racing titles, KOTOR, Jedi Academy etc wouldn't have gotten close to that. Sales figures for AAA games have risen a lot.

Not sure about the other but KOTOR has pretty low sales relative to other Star Wars titles as it was an OG Xbox exclusive. The forthcoming remake of the game will likely outsell the original and the sequel comb8ned quite comfortably.

There was more competition for AAA titles back in those days, with lots of AA and A titles as well. These days there are fewer AAA titles, and there's very little aside from AAA and indie. HiFi Rush is one of the few AA games I can think of having any kind of impact in a very long time.
