[edit] Notes on using this list

Please keep in mind:

1. Video game sales statistics change on a daily basis.
2. Video game sales statistics are difficult to come by.
3. Video game sales statistics are much lower than the number of copies of games in circulation due to copyright infringement.
4. Although this list strives to be sales world-wide, some data is currently based solely on US or North American sales.

Because of these reasons, please:

1. Think of sales numbers as the minimum amount of units sold, not the precise amount.
2. Help adjust these statistics as new information becomes available, and quote your sources.
