    Correction: We said that you can have wars on Nuketown on MW2, but it's actually a black ops map. Sorry for the mistake! Thanks to those who caught the error!

      Before I say this, I like pokemon silver more than gold and notice how the thumbnail for 2001 shows a picture of pokemon silver only despite that year's best-selling game being a tie between Pokemon Silver and pokemon gold. Watch mojo must have put what they thought was the better game in the thumbnail! 😉

      In 2000 my mother bought me pokemon silver for Christmas when I was a child. I never had played the pokemon games before that one but I was a big fan of the franchise and the show. Ever since then I became a big fan of the pokemon games and became a fan for life!

      @@westwarmoore3535 The gold and silver remakes were amazing BUT the ONLY issue I had with them (and it's small) is the fact that they scrapped, Kris, the female character that you can play as that was introduced in crystal which was also the 1st ever playable female character in the core, main series pokemon games, and she should have been the female option in the remakes considering that she was in crystal but unfortunately she was absent and replaced with some *NEW* girl in a *REMAKE* (smh). If you ask me they didn't have a choice but to make her the playable female character in those remakes considering that that was, in addition to her being the female character from the original games, also a milestone for the pokemon franchise, the first ever female playable character in the main series, core games and that should be celebrated, so it's very strange how they didn't make it happen. Talk about a glaring omission, smh. I still don't understand the decision to this day! Like I said before, it's a small thing *BUT* , I didn't say this before: it means *SO MUCH*

      Nuketown was introduced in black ops 1. I remember getting 110 kills on Nuketown calling chopper Gunner 3 times in a single game. I still remember that game. What a time I had playing zombies too. Newer cods just don't have this feeling. Now you have sbmm and sweaty lobbies. Earlier you played with randoms and you could get 50-100 kills if you were good every other game. Calling chopper Gunner and dogs every other game. Now I call high kill streaks 3-4 times a year. Major difference in fun and feeling. Older cods were magic.

    Is this list supposed to be the top selling game of that year, for the year it came out? Or the game from that year that went on to sell the most copies
    in total?
    If its the former then there are a few mistakes on this list... if its the latter then you should have clarified that in the video (your wording of "in their respective years" could go for either argument).
    Two examples:
    2011:
    The game you list is Minecraft. In 2011 Minecraft only sold 4 million copies, but it has gone on to sell upwards of 200 million since. Whereas in 2011 Skyrim sold 22 million copies and its lifetime sales are up around 40 million. So for sales **IN** 2011 it would be Skyrim, but sales overall since it would be Minecraft.
    2015:
    The game you list is Witcher 3. In 2015 Witcher 3 only sold 6 million copies, while Fallout 4 sold almost 14 million... however in the long run it was just announced that Witcher 3 has sold more than 50 million copies while Fallout 4 has only a bit over 30 million copies sold.
    So thats what I mean about the confusion: your list seems to be the game that went on to eventually sell the most copies all time, instead of the way the list was worded to be the game that sold the most units in each year.
