Ah yes, the famous "best selling video game" metric

If you're implying that this invalidates the metric somehow, I'd remind you that those games are Minceraft and GTA5; Two of the most popular and culturally significant games ever created, and two games for which every gamer knows the development studio's name.

I'd also point out that best selling != most profitable. The most profitable ones absolutely do come from Japan and the USA: Pokemon and CoD!

I mean look at the games with the highest revenue it's not Pokemon or CoD.

Franchises; When accounting for sequels, merchandising and such, #1 and #2 are Pokemon and CoD.
