A lot of my friends have been getting frustrated watching NFL these days — much to my amusement. There’s even been talk of them switching to playing NFL as a video game instead.

I’m sure they were just joking, but it got me curious nonetheless.

I’ve played a lifetime of video games over the years and definitely overplayed a few sports franchise ones too.

It got me wondering what the most popular sports video games were since this new industry was spawned.

And probably the best way to identify that is by looking at their sales — even though some people surely pirated copies.

So here’s a list for those also curious — the most sold sports video game franchises of all time!

Which ones did you play?
