    That's only because separate versions and expansion of games don't count. Otherwise WoW would be #1 (Which has sold many many more millions)

    Also the graph is inaccurate, because The Sims 2 has sold over 20 million copies, http://i.imgur.com/Cp7e2j6.png

    Quoted from the page-
    "Subscription figures for massively multiplayer online games such as World of Warcraft or Lineage are not taken into account as they do not necessarily correspond to sales."

    As for the sims, blame the graph :p

    You basically buy the game WITH a subscription, but I guess that's a matter of perspective.
