Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 Was The Best Selling Game Of 2015

PlayStation 4 was the best-selling console of 2015, but the NPD reports that the game that people were playing the most of all was Call of Duty: Black Ops III. This certainly isn’t a surprise considering the massive popularity that the series has been enjoying for years now, and that popularity shows no signs of fading anytime soon. They also gave a list of the top 10 best selling games of the entire year, which also includes the likes of Fallout 4 and Star Wars Battlefront. You can scroll down for the complete list of the top 10 best selling games of 2015 below.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC) Madden NFL 16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3) Fallout 4 (PS4, Xbox One, PC) Star Wars: Battlefront (Xbox One, PS4, PC) Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One) 360, PS3, PC) NBA 2K16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3) Minecraft (360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4) FIFA 16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3) Mortal Kombat X (PS4, Xbox One) Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)

The above list also lists the amount sold per platform from highest to lowest, and it is very interesting to learn that Black Ops III sold more on Xbox One than it did on PlayStation 4. Sony made the very big and controversial announcement at E3 last year that they had taken over timed DLC exclusivity from Microsoft, so many assumed that Xbox gamers would be jumping the ship over to PlayStation to avoid the wait. However, it appears Call of Duty players are more loyal than that and decided to stick with the console they have called home for years now.

The rest of the list is pretty standard stuff, as sports games like Madden NFL 16 and FIFA 16 sold very well as they do every year. Big games like Grand Theft Auto V and Minecraft have also managed to stick around in the top 10 despite being out for years now, though both have also seen releases on different platforms that have no doubt helped to keep the sales from spiking. Bethesda’s Fallout 4 is also unsurprisingly in the top 3, which is standard stuff for a Bethesda game as just about anything they release is guaranteed to make big bucks. Finally, rounding out the 9 and 10 slots are the excellent and brutal Mortal Kombat X, and yet another Call of Duty game in the form of last year’s Advanced Warfare.
