Interesting. Didn't realize WWF was so large, or Sonic this gen. Scary that Guitar Hero only really factored in here from 2005-2008.

Sonic is on the top 20!

The NSMB games, I think...maybe they threw the Galaxy games in there too.

Lol, they only count Mario as one franchise. That's what I've always done myself. This is only NPD and GFK though.

EA is insane.

which games do you think? i think only the platformers. maybe not even all of them (paper mario?)

not games like mario tennis, mario party and so on... (mario kart is also seperate)



I love how Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit are their on franchise with a single game.

huge games!



I'm actually suprised at some of these things. Sonic is in it for one. No Capcom franchise whatsoever. Mario is not first, but that's because they've included Mario Kart seperately. LEGO is bigger than Grand Theft Auto and The Sims is still huge.

They counted 'Mario' and 'Mario Kart' seperately, for some reason.

I take it the Mario entry includes NSMB, 3D Mario and Mario Party. But I agree, either split the franchise up into all of it's different series, or really count it as one. I don't know if Mario & Sonic at the Olympics is included with 'Mario' or with 'Sonic' though. I'm guessing the latter since that would explain how Sonic even makes the top 20.
