Does this stat take release date into account? Otherwise it seems like a pretty meaningless metric. An AAA game that releases in January is going to have better sales for the year compared to one that releases in October.
It doesn’t, but most game sales are front loaded at release. Having 8 months on the shelf still makes a difference, for sure, but it’s still notable that it was number 1.

Call of Duty always release near the end, but is still the number 1 game every year.
