Absolute trash source.

No Silksong in the top 20

Konami said MGS Snake eater sold more than 1 million units on the first day so according to the list Helldivers 2 had to sell more than 1 million units last month because it apparently has sold better than MGS?

Had to check what the fuck is a Kickoff Bundle and it's apparently NFL 26 and some college football 26. Okay fine, but the list also has NFL 26 brought up separately so NFL gets 2 places in the top 20? Never am I going believe people bought the Kickoff bundle for college football.

And then there are some really sus entries like RDR2 (which is a good game but is it really one of the best selling games of last month?)

I'm not sure how that's relevant. I even considered the possibility of them ordering the list based on revenue instead of units sold but even then it doesn't make sense that there's no Silksong in the top 20. One of the most anticipated title of the year in its release month makes less revenue than RDR2? And it doesn't explain any other anomalies, like Helldivers 2, which has been out for over a year, selling better than Snake Eater, which is considered one the best MGS titles?

I'm not calling them liars but I do think their data is incomplete.

only games from 'digital data sharing publishers' are included, and it’s dollar sales not units

I haven't even heard or seen anyone mention RDR2 in at least a year.

That one guy who makes daily posts about the games he's playing made a post like last week about him playing Undead Nightmare from the first one, but that's it.

If true, guess dude was right, the True Fans found a way to pay that $80 price tag.

I'm still playing the waiting game, will not pay more than $40.

It may be the game that made the most money. It's not the game that sold the most copies.
