What are the most popular role-playing games of all-time?

Answer 1

When discussing table-top pen and paper RPGs, far and away the most popular roleplaying game of all time is Dungeons and Dragons. Though controversial by critics and fans of RPGs alike, it is simple fact that Dungeons and Dragons has captured the lion's share of the RPG market since it's inception in the mid-seventies and continues to do so with D&D 4E today. Following Dungeons and Dragons, the question becomes a bit trickier. Many RPGs have gained and lost popularity over the ensuing decades since the creation of "the hobby". The most popular (i.e. "Best Selling") Pen and Paper RPGs following D&D are probably Rifts, Vampire the Masquerade, Shadowrun and GURPS, though exact figures are difficult to track down. Personal Computer RPGs, however, have been completely dominated by the MMORPG since their arrival on the PC gaming scene, outstripping their predecessor single-player RPGs like Ultima 7 and Eye of the Beholder by millions of copies. The current holder of the Most Popular title is World of Warcraft with over 9 million subscribers worldwide. It's closest competitor without massively multiplayer capability is Diablo II with 4 million copies sold. Console RPGs, by comparison, have been mostly dominated by Japanese companies. Final Fantasy VII stands at the top of the console RPG market with almost 10 million copies sold.
