    No way this is a remotely sane comparison.

    Any Tetris game released after 1988 is essentially a sequel while most of these games have no sequels to include, and even if you just dismissively wave that away, it has had almost 40 years to sell those copies.

      “All-time units sold”, not “all-time units sold under certain conditions to normalize the list”

        Un-normalized data presented as a graph is just encouraging bad interpretations. I know it’s just a look at stupid game sales data but bad data visualization is bad data visualization, regardless of the data it is made from.
