  1. 1 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019
    2 NBA 2K20
    3 Madden NFL 20
    4 Borderlands 3
    5 Mortal Kombat 11
    6 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

    Depressing but at least fallen order sold well.

    Cant help but notice that games like control, outer worlds are not in this list.

  2. 1 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019
    2 NBA 2K20
    3 Madden NFL 20

    This is proof that gamers in US have very low or 0 standards.

    1. Top selling isn’t the “only” selling. But yeah, US does have cultural domination all over the world and it does make many non US citizens very salty. That’s true.

  3. Really hope the good Jedi Fallen Order sales mean EA continues to let developers make single player experiences like that. Maybe even let Bioware be Bioware again, or at least 10 percent of what they once were.

  4. Crazy, not one indie game made that list(not sure Minecraft counts anymore). I suppose that list should not really surprise us though. Still I never thought COD be number 1, that’s insane.

    Damn… not gonna get discouraged as an indie dev and one that has chosen to specialize in modern 2D. Having said that now I sort of wish I had went to 3D instead cause it looks like that is what the majority mostly care about 🙁 . Anyways I am sure a lot of gamers still appreciate and respect what a lot of us indie devs create. List or no list this won’t change My mind or direction.

    Also I am really happy Days Gone made the list and also BL3 + RE2.

  5. I heard CoD MW4 is 200% russophobic so it worth a try. Been quite a while for a theme like this. + it’s not another sci-fi s**t.
