Biggest mainstream franchises? Really?

Mario Kart Wii (28.31 millions sold) says hello!

Mario Kart Wii released April 2008.

3 and a half years ago.

In that time COD has sold over 64 million units.

and if mario kart released 3 games with minor updates it would do the same, u cant compare a game with 1 release to multiple releases

Probably not, as Mario Kart Wii's sales would have slowedva whole lot when MK7 would have released. Then MK8 would have slowed 7. Etc. Call of Duty sells 20 Million Yearly. No other game on consoles or PC does this.
