Sorry, I didn't realize we were comparing games that are bundled with a system to a game that has to be bought and often pirated.

Bundled? Mario all star wii was bundled? Think you're mistaken. Snes game was, but many many copies were sold without bundle - may I say, most of them?
Ah, yes Mario was never ever pirated too! I suppose my Znes emulator is officially supported by Nintendo. Send me the bill, Nintendo! I owe you 150.000 dollars.
And of course, there's virtua console sales too. So make that Diablo 19 in my original post!

LOL this is ridiculous. There is nothing worse than arguing facts. Mario all star SNES was bundled for like a couple years dude. Wii couldn't even sell 2.5 m of them you think SNES sold 10!?
Super mario all-stars was bundled from really 1994 and on.
It's been remade 3 times. ie; it's been completely reprogrammed 3 times. It's been released 5 times.
Super mario advance -5m
Mario allstars SNES- 10m
All-stars wii- 2.5m
17.5M
virtual console?
diablo 1 and 2. Made once each, total of 2 times. Programmed twice. Released twice.
17m as of 2009. Still on NPD top PC games in America as of 2010.
Daiblo 17? They are almost even at just 2!

You forgot the other Mario Advances... and of course, the thera's original releases. Guess the 17 million mario 3 were all bundled also.
And yeah, I believe at least more than 5 million ("most of") sales of the Mario All Stars were not bundled. It was a huge hit back then.
Completely reprogrammed 3 times? Yeah, keep telling yourself that. You're insulting Mario sales power, you know it.
BTW, not that I doubt it, but where did you get that 17 million number? And wouldn't you say Diablo 1 was bundled with 2, cause I don't thnk you can buy it separately.

Oh you want to talk about the Mario franchise completely?
How completely bafflingly odd considering you're comparing a series from 25 years ago with one from 15 years ago, and 15 games compared to 2.
I guess Nintendo wins *this* round.
You want a better competitor? World of warcraft sells the equivalent of 10m mario games at 50 dollars a peice, every year, since 2004.

I'm not comparing franchises... I'm saying the original Mario Games sell a lot even to this day. And rereleases sell more than diablo. Anyway, what about that 17 million figure?
And fun fact, did you remember you could not play diablo 2 in 800x600 originally? Thank god for expansions and patches possible on PC or else blizzard would have to do the unthinkable: completely reprogram it!
Wow is much bigger than Diablo, what's your point?

If you're going to continue an argument that someone else started, at least keep in mind what they said.

The witcher 2 could have used a few months more in the oven, even though it was a great game. Blizzard makes games that sell for years and even decades because they focus so much on quality and balance.

So they are like Nintendo but slower."
