#3 Street Fighter II
Developer: Capcom
Released: 1991
Revenue: $6.15 billion
The most successful arcade game of all time (but one that also had a much stronger presence on home consoles), Street Fighter II has generated over $6 billion in revenue since 1991 and remains one of the most popular competitive fighting games to this day. It was involved in one of the fiercest gaming rivalries of all time in the 1990’s, as it competed with Mortal Kombat for the favor of arcade and console fighting game fans. Both series released movies in the mid-90’s at the height of their rivalry, being two of the first video game series to do so.
