Best selling machine?
Jakobud:
I would definitely guess Ms. Pac Man over Pac Man.

I've never read definitive production numbers on Defender. I'd go with Defender, those things were everywhere BITD!

I don't know where Cheffo gets his information, but in the 80s in Blackpool, I saw more US based games in the arcade (Dragon's Lair included) than I ever saw in a Sega Center/Timeout or Electronic Corral in So. Calif.
I would say Space Invaders or Galaxian would be the candidate to the most sold.
J.Max:
I'd make a guess and say Ms. Pac Man or Galaga. (Especially if you consider the 20th/25th anniversary machines and the cocktail units.) I saw new ones still being sold as late as 2003.
angryred:
Wow, I would have guessed Galaga. That one sticks in my mind as the omnipresent machine back in the day. That sucker was everywhere.
