MakgSnake is on a distinguished road
The best selling game of all time (any console) is Super Mario Brothers, had sold a total of 40.23 million copies worldwide.

The best selling game on PC is Myst, has sold 500,000 copies in its first year. And has sold 4 million copies till now. But now it may be Sims as people are saying.

Fastest selling game on any console is "Pokeman Yellow", it was released in the USA on Oct 18 1999 and had sold 1 Million copies within 10 days.

And just an add on, the biggest software launch ever was of "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty". Konami generated approximately $25 million in sales the first day alone (a figure that beats the opening day results of most hollywood blockbusters). Initial shipment of 1.8 million copies to retailers the very first day.
