1. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D
The Legend of Zelda continues as one of the most popular franchises by Nintendo. It is also the top selling game of this year by far. Players who have experienced playing a Zelda game know how great the game is with each iteration having new features and new storylines for the game’s protagonist Link. This particular game which is a remake of the original Majora’s Mask has been attracting Nintendo players from around the world.
If there’s any indication of trends from these top selling video games, each of these games signify a franchise that has already been well established in previous games. It is quite difficult for a game to make a mark on its first release as you have to build a fan base first. These games are carried by the successes of their predecessors.
However, not all sequels of games become as popular as the previous one. It takes a lot of improvement and a fulfillment of gamers’ expectations to make the game sell well. There have been a number of releases this year that haven’t quite made the mark that the developers originally expected. There’s always room for hope though in the case of a few games like Minecraft who is its own original game. There’s also Mortal Kombat X, a franchise that was previously thought dead until a few years ago.
Like what’s been said earlier in the article, any future release can change the ranking of the games on this list. If you’re searching for a game to play now, then these 16 best selling video games in 2015 are definitely the ones to consider.
