Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Super Mario, sales of Nintendo's most prominent franchise.

There was no thread last Sunday due to a bussiness trip, so you guys get something more special this time, Mario.

Mario is undeniably Nintendo's biggest franchise, its the face of the company and of videogames in general, when thinking about videogames the first thing to come to the minds of plenty of people is Mario, even the level 1-1 music is part of popular culture, Mario is a juggernaut, he's arguably more popular than Mickey Mouse!

Obviously the series was always a big seller, however this thread is only about the mainline of platformers, if I were to include every Mario game ever it'd be nearly endless, so here are only the games that have "Super Mario" in the title, are platformers and you play as Mario, sorry Yoshi's Island and Super Mario Land 3, but you don't count.

So, first of all, chart all Mario games to have sold over one million units worlwide, this is info that Nintendo has directly released throughout the years.

Graph bar as always, only games to sell over 10 million units, because Mario is just that huge.

 

To compliment the thread, Japanese sales data of all the Mario games I have that meet the criteria.

Glorious. Long live Mario!



So we are combing the 3 different platformer series into 1 here... what about the other Mario games?? =(
Also NSMB on DS is by far the most impressive. 30m without mass bundling and its on one of if not the easiest console to hack.



Top 10 Super Mario games all sold above 10M...

Even the 2 Wii U games sold 3M+ though the userbase is at ~9M

AFAIK it was very heavily bundled in with the console

Good ol' Mario.

While it's not my favorite franchise, there's no denying that Mario games have been consistently good, and will continue to be a good for a long time.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Damn. Mario is a beast. I wonder where the Wii U games will end up on the list at the end of their lives.

Good work as always, Kylee!
