Elden Ring has sold over 25 million copies. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild over 30 million copies. Witcher 3 over 50 million. Skyrim over 60 million, and is the only one more than a decade old on this list. And people spend longer in a video game than in any one book and get far more of a multi-media experience with things for all the senses. And then there's the big MMOs; Warcraft 3, Final Fantasy XIV, and Old School Runescape. And then there are the big free to play games like League of Legends (plus Arcane of course) and Genshin Impact.In the film space we've got Disney dominating (and just because Descendants wasn't theatrically released doesn't mean we should exclude it; it was huge) but also things like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and we're getting a new Shrek and I hear Wicked is doing pretty well at the box office.Breaking my ten year rule as we go into TV we've got Avatar: The Last Airbender as a giant in the space (in the Netflix Most Watched Fantasy TV shows for 2024 we've got the ATLA remake season 1 in first, the three original ATLA seasons in positions 3-5, and the Korra spinoff in 8, 11, 14, and 18). One Piece, The Witcher, and Fate: the Winx Saga making up the rest of the top 10. Amazon appear to be on the book-spinoffs with Rings of Power, Wheel of Time, Fallout (OK, so that's video game - and does it count as fantasy?)</blockquote>
