| Pineapple said: 21 games (so far) selling over 10 million is quite an accomplishment. For a comparison, last gen ended with the top sellers being something along the lines of 1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - ~ 20.5 million 2. Pokemon Rub/Sapphire - 15.4 million 3. Gran Turismo 3 - 14.89 million 4. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - 14.2 million 5. Grand Theft Auto III - 11.6 million 6. Pokemon Leaf Green/Fire Red - 10.5 million 7. Gran Turismo 4 - 10.5 million I think that's it. Those are the only titles that sold more than 10 million last gen. I might have missed some, though. Still, it's definitely not more than 10.
The 6th gen ended as the gen with the least "heavy hitters", and was immidiately followed by the 7th gen, which has the most heavy hitters.
It's quite interesting to see what a change mario has had generation on generation. He saw ~ 60 million last gen, New Super Mario Bros Wii and Mario Kart Wii alone might beat that.
Oh, and Khuutra. One thing; is Halo 3 the best shooter on a single console ever? I still stand by that Duck Hunt is a shooter, and it has far over double the sales of Halo 3. |
Right you are, actually. I suppose I'll have to amend to "first person shooter", since even though Duck Hunt occurs in the first person I thin it's nont technically an FPS.
And yes, it's amazing how many of these games have broken 10 million. What's more amazing is how many have broken 15 million, as Erik Aston pointed out a couplee f years ago - last generation there was only two games to do that much, while this generation there is going to be over a dozen! And by the end of it, the entire top ten might be made up of 20 million sellers!
