Nobody actually buys Minesweeper, so I don't think it counts as a bestselling game.
Having said this, the claims about the bestselling game of all time upthread sound wrong to me. The first game that came to mind, Wikipedia says this about it:
which handily beats Minecraft.
I suppose it comes down to whether Yvain was looking for the best selling video game of all time, or the best selling PC game of all time. 'Computer game' is a little ambiguous.

I was confused too. Not only by "did he mean video game?", but also "how does he define sales?".
I picked Super Mario Bros and called it a day.
