I believe the best selling video game was Halo 2. Bringing in more $$ than Spider-Man, and being the video game to receive the most publicity. Also, the fact that it lived up to the hype says alot.
Call of Duty was/is the highest selling and besting game around. - ShaneTFletcher
EDIT-
Released In 1984 Tetris has the highest amount of copes sold at 143 million. Tetris has sold 53.6135% more than the second best selling game Wii Sports at 82.54 million. - 10/23/2014
