According to VGC, MW2 is at 15 million yet it is not listed. You propably argue "on a single platform" but that does not make any sense on a thread about most sold games.

"Multiplatform" would also raise Nintendo game sales in a lot of these cases too though.  Games like Mario 3 (NES, GBA), Mario 64 (N64, DS) and Animal Crossing (N64, GC, DS, Wii) would all suddenly go over 20m in that case.  And the Pokemon expansions (Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum) would add to their mainline counterparts instead of counting separately, taking R/S and D/P both over 20m as well.  In fact, it's possible Nintendo would actually net more positions in a true multiplatform top 25.

 

So animal crossing is the same game on all of those platforms? Pokemon seems to be counted that way on the chart anyway.

I am just wondering why you seem to assume that I would care if nintendo had more or less positions on that list?

I'm not assuming you care either way, and frankly I don't care either.  I just wanted to point out that going multiplatform wouldn't automatically push down a ton of those Nintendo titles as expect and are implying. The chart would probably look about the same but some positions would move and some new titles would enter, but Nintendo would still utterly dominate.

 

Also, that's NOT how Pokemon is counted there (day-and-date sets are combined, but later enhanced releases aren't).  And I would say Animal Crossing is pretty much the same at it's core, though it's obviously been added to with each iterative release.  It's as much "the same game" as something like Gears 360 and Gears PC in that sense.
