No kidding. Over a billion hours of play worldwide and counting? The demo alone has already seen more playtime from more people then most other games in history. The finished game must explode heads! =O |
Talking console only games (No idea what high numbers games like WoWarcraft would have built up) I don't think there will be more than 5 games with more time spent on them than 1.3 billlion hours.
Super Mario Brothers is 25 years old, so it's likely it has been played more, but not by huge amounts unless you start counting the GBA and VC versions.
PokemonR/B/G is likely the most played console (or handheld console) game of all time, a lot of people put a lot of hours into it, and people still play the old red/blue versions today, I played Red at a friend of mines house a few months back because she had been playing it before I went over. (it was actually my first experience of the game)
So, games that still probably have more time spent on them than Wii Sports:
Pokemon R/B/G will be top dog, likely followed by;
Pokemon G/S
Tetris will be third if counting GB version only
followed by SMB
perhaps Super Mario World will be 5th.
Nearest non Nintendo will likely be either GTA:San Andreas or GT3.... I would put my money on GT3 because I doubt the average time spent on GTA is particularly high.... probably less than Wii Sports average. GT3 may have a higher average, but too low sales to come near.
