The Wii franchise will by the end of the year be the 3rd most selling franchise ever.

Games with the name "Mario" in them this generation has already outsold the total sales of any other non-nintendo franchise.

 

Scary indeed.

 

...That  can't be right. Can it? What about GTA? Or the Sims?

Whoops, my bad. Wait untill the end of the year.

 

Mario on Wii: 34M

Mario on DS: 48.7M

Total: 72.7M

 

GTA: 75.6M

"Wii series": 64.32M

 

PS: No The Sims, we're in a thread about console sales, so none of the PC sales counts. I am using VGChartz data, so GTA might be a tad low.
