8. FIFA 16

With no World Cup tournament to create extra interest, FIFA 16 probably won't match the sales of FIFA 15. Even so, the game was a solid performer for Electronic Arts in 2015.

Minecraft first released in 2009, but the game is still popular enough to be 2015's seventh-best-selling game. Minecraft's staying power is incredible.

Who were gaming's biggest winners in 2015?l Call of Duty: Black Ops ended a trend of declining sales in the series,

posting significantly better sales than the last two COD games. This was a big win for Activision.

l l EA, Take Two, Time Warner, and Bethesda made big strides, as well.

Among the major third party publishers, Ubisoft had the weakest year in terms of big releases.

l l Multi-platform games were by far the strongest performers. Not a

single platform exclusive title published by Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo made the North American top-10 across 2015.

l l In addition to strong sales from big gaming franchises, publishers

benefited from increased digital content sales.
