According to VGchartz of course.

Yes but, how many of those ten weren't bundled? Bundled games can't be compared to unbundled games.

Why not? Bundles are counted for every other consoles as well...

Well deserved.

What haven't you made a list of these games in the OP? :p



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Why not? Because you don't know buyer intent. When a system is bundled with a game, did the game sell the console or did the console sell the game? That's why you can't compare bundled games and stand alone games.

It is when you're comparing it to other consoles which is what this thread is about. In order to compare, it needs to be apples to apples.

So youre saying that no other console maker had bundles...?



Anfebious on 19 December 2014

Now let's find reasons why this is not true:

1- Most of those games are bundled, and bundled games don't count
2- Those games are casual and therefore they don't count.
3- The DS doesn't count because it's a handheld. No one counts those "consoles".

I'm sure i'm forgetting more reasons but those are the most important.
