All numbers courteous to VGCharts

This is going to be quite a topic and a work in progress for sometime as it can’t necessarily stay the same while video games sell more and more units everyday. But within this topic you’ll find all the numbers of units shipped of all video games that have gone platinum. For starters going platinum means shipping more than a million units.

At first I’ll only update with the 3 7th generation consoles and as I go along I’ll slowly start to incorporate all the rest til I have them all. As of now there are over 800 games that have gone platinum. All shipment figures from VGCharts database. I’m just bringing that here. Also I will only do total sales without region breakdown but later on I’ll add region breakdown. Also this is a topic to discuss titles that are on the verge of hitting 1 million and future titles that you think will achieve this goal.

*all numbers in millions of units shipped*

Yea some do surprise but remember these are shipments. So some will get the extra push that they need to go platinum. Red Steel is one of those that got that push cause of shipments. Red Steel probably actually sold 900k but with shipments pushed it over. Go figure eh.

The next things I’ll add to this is PSP and DS. But that’s for later. These 3 are ones people are probably really wondering about anyways.

Also aside from system specific I’ll add the top 25 shipped videogames which should encompass every game that’s sold more than 10 million copies for people wondering on that level.

i wonder, if people “buying” the 80GB ps3 w/ bundle motorstorm counts a sell for motorstorm.

Well i know wii sports does.

The only thing I will not include is PC games. VGCharts has PC games but they aren’t updated much and don’t include all that are platinum. So instead of giving data that is probably off I jsut won’t include PC games.

Yes it does. Cuase the game is shipped with the system to retailers which counts as a sale.
