Interesting that Banished is up there at top spot. This indy game comes from nowhere, it's finished (something rare these days), there was no multi-year hype buildup, and it seems really brilliant (didnt get it yet, but had it on my "watch list").
It is really strange. DayZ and Rust had a lot of word of mouth so their success is understandable. Banished came out of nowhere. It was the top-seller as soon as it launched despite appearing to be a rather mundane city-builder.

Banished is a harsh, harsh mistress. We survived the famines. We survived the cold winters with little firewood and ragged clothes. Things were going well until... Old Age. Guess I should have built more houses.

Edit: I wonder if that CoD Ghost is actual sales or whoever downloaded the game during the free weekend counts as sales
The list is based on revenue...
Ghost is the worst CoD in the past several years!

Take it for what you will. Apparently Gamespot leaked the review on GameFAQs and quickly removed it.
And Banished is a brilliant game, mix of SimCity with survival. It does need a bit more content though, hopefully this success will encourage the dev to make a sizable expansion.

Ma, these open world survival zombie games are REALLY popular. DayZ & Rust must be making millions.
*Great to see ARMA & Wither on there!
