according to several news articles quoting Henk Rogers (one of the founders and President of the Tetris Company), the mobile version of Tetris has over 425 million paid sales (not counting free downloads) that would make it the best selling game in history (at leas this version of the game), I don't know if anybody else has been able to find more sources. here are some links about the interview:

Recently the original creation date listed in the article was changed from 1984 to the much more likely 1985. While I believe that this was a correct change, I also think that the controversy over the creation date should be mentioned in the article, perhaps even in its own subheading. The company that owns the game[1] and several high profile sources[2][3] claiming a different creation date than the one listed in the article is significant and notable, and should be mentioned in the article.

First human to beat Tetris game to hard crash (at level 157) which only AI could do thus far: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67871775 94.21.160.159 (talk) 22:15, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
The following sentences appear in the "Gameplay" section: "The game never ends with the player's victory. The player can only complete as many lines as possible before an inevitable loss."
According to CNN however, a player managed to beat the game by "crashing" it. If true, this would be a victory of sorts. It would also mean that a loss, while very likely, is not inevitable. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/03/tech/oklahoma-teenager-defeats-tetris/index.html 205.162.227.132 (talk) 22:58, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
