This is a Lista celor mai bine vândute jocuri video pentru PC (including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux) that have sold or shipped at least one million copies.
Please note that the sales figures for expansion packs are not used in calculation of the sales figure for the original game (with the exception of Guild Wars). Sales from digital distribution outlets such as Steam are also not taken into account. Subscription figures for massively multiplayer online games such as World of Warcraft or Lineage are also not taken into account.

Lista [modificare]
Lista conține jocuri pentru Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X și Linux care s-au vândut cel mai bine. Pachetele de expansiune nu sunt luate în calcul (cu excepția pachetelor pentru StarCraft și Guild Wars). De asemenea, vânzările prin distribuție digitală (ca cele prin Steam, Direct2Drive, etc.) sunt omise după ce NPD Group și alte organizații nu au reușit să stabilească cu exactitate câte jocuri s-au vândut prin această metodă.

Older computers [modificare]
This section lists the sales of video games released for older personal computer platforms such as the Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST, BBC Micro, Commodore 64, FM-7, MSX, NEC PC-88 & PC-98, and Sharp X1 & X68000. The computer game industry was much smaller when these platforms were active, but gradually increasing; the best-selling computer game up until June 1982 sold 35,000 copies,[89] a major hit in 1983 would have sold around 50,000 copies, and a major hit in 1985 would have sold around 150,000 copies.[90] As such, the threshold is at least 35,000 sales for titles released up until 1982, 50,000 for titles released in 1983, and at least 100,000 sales for titles released from 1984 onwards.
