Add The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim to the eigth position on the list, below red dead redemption 2. It has sold 60 million copies according to Todd Howard as seen in this article. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/skyrim-is-now-within-the-top-10-best-selling-games-of-all-time/1100-6515101/ 202.7.251.143 (talk) 02:52, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Tetris is wrong
[edit]The link you have is 100,000,000 mobile phone downloads. Most sites e.g. IGN have it as 520 million downloads. 203.206.3.177 (talk) 13:17, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Payday 2
[edit]According to starbreeze themselves, payday 2 has sold at least 40 million copies by January 2023. https://news.cision.com/starbreeze-ab/r/2023---the-year-of-payday,c3691450 AwesomeGuy2256 (talk) 11:07, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Change list from top 50 games to those that have sold over 20 million copies
[edit]Lists like list of best-selling books usually have a lower limit based on how many copies have been sold, rather than making a "top [number]" list. I also believe it just makes more sense to include all games that have sold over 20 million instead of a top 50 list. – Treetoes023 (talk) 13:43, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Add the verfied figure of 30 million Skyrim copies
[edit]Although the 60 Million figure is unreliable, The last verified sales number was 30 million which still puts it on the 25th-23rd position on the list. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/skyrim-creator-on-why-well-have-to-wait-for-another-elder-scrolls-128377/ It makes no sense not to include it. 119.73.104.217 (talk) 20:16, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
