Biggest Selling Game of All Time Revisited

[Thrillhouse]

When analyzing this topic before... when one speaks of bundles - you should really consider hardware vs software and also variations.

What game is the BIGGEST selling game of all time?

Well that depend on what you are looking for! We'll just speak of consoles right now, rather then preloaded PC games.. We also won't look at Downloadable Sales for this exercise.

Let's add asterisks next to them if you like!

*Wii Sports - Biggest Selling Title of All Time that came bundled with hardware 57.36 MIL
(( Top Titles that fall into this category are
Tetris / Duck Hunt / NSMB / SMW / Brain Age / SMB3 / Nintendogs / Pokemon Yellow / Pokemon Gold & Silver / Mario Kart DS / SUPER MARIO LAND!  ))

*Wii Play - Biggest Selling Title of All time that came with an unnecessary peripheral in order to play it. 25.73 MIL
(( Top Title that falls into this category is Mario Kart Wii ... ))

*Pokemon Red / Green / Yellow - Biggest Selling Game with Variant Editions 31.37 MIL or 46.01 MIL
(NOTE: Pokemon Yellow can be included in this variant , but that software also came bundled with GameBoy Color in later iterations... so pick your poison)
(( Top titles that fall into this category are Pokemon Gold & Silver / Nintendogs / Pokemon Diamond & Pearl ))

*Wii Fit - Biggest Selling Title of All Time that came bundled with a peripheral that is needed to play it.   22.89 MIL
(( No other games fall into this category from the top titles.... Some would claim that this title is the Biggest Selling independent title that is "Not Bundled" because the game is useless without the peripheral... but I digress. I would also claim now that Wii Fit Plus is out, that Sales for Wii Fit are now locked. If you were to count them as a whole, it would fall into the variant category ))

*GTA: San Andreas - Biggest Selling Title that has a variant Special Edition 18.15 MIL
(( This does not count the Greatest Hits variant, but the actual GTA: SA Special Edition with not much new content added ))

*Super Mario Land - Biggest Selling Stand Alone Title (No Bundles / No Variants) 18.14 MIL

The Above about SML was proven False... See Page 2 of this Thread, It was bundled with Game Boy Pocket

 

SO? Do you agree / disagree!

Why or why not!
