Tetris is the best-selling console game with a little over 520 million units shipped worldwide. The second best-selling console game of all time was Minecraft with over 300 million copies of the game sold. As several of the global best selling games are linked to Nintendo, it is not surprising that the company made 11 billion U.S. dollars in annual sales in the company's fiscal year 2024.
