And they are played so much that we can&#8217;t even conceive it. <strong>This is helped by the fact that the longevity of video games nowadays is much greater compared to a decade ago<\/strong>, but that doesn&#8217;t take away from how surprising it is to see how the best-selling and most played video games are changing. How timeless classics are making way for new games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has recently happened when Re-Logic, the studio behind the indie success Terraria, <strong>has confirmed that it has surpassed the total sales of the original Super Mario Bros.<\/strong>. Having sold 58.7 million copies, 32 million of them only on PC, this game published in 2011 and generally referred to as the pixelart Minecraft, has proven to be an absolute silent success. Surpassing the approximately 50 million copies that the original Super Mario Bros. has sold to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Terraria - Launch Trailer - Nintendo Switch\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9DwRYw2g9Sc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Is Terraria close to the best-selling games in history? We&#8217;re afraid it has a harder time. <strong>First, it would have to beat Wii Sports, with 83 million units sold, then Tetris, with 100 million<\/strong>, and then two giants like GTAV and Minecraft with over 200 and 300 million respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That doesn&#8217;t take away from the amazing numbers of Terraria. <strong>Hardly any game stays alive for almost fifteen years and manages to sell almost 60 million copies<\/strong>.
