What you "choose to see" has no bearing on reality.

Skyrim would need to somewhere between double and triple its current sales to come within striking distance of Red and Blue, and that's not happening.

You can say "Skyrim is the best-selling RPG that isn't Pokemon" and that would be much closer to true, but that caveat is important.

But don't you understand the impact it would have to be able to shut up all the haters by saying "dude, Skyrim is the best selling RPG of all time"?

It doesn't sound powerful to say "dude, Skyrim is the best selling RPG that isn't Pokemon of all time".

It won't have any impact on real discussions of quality, so you can abandon that line of thought more or less immediately.

Yes, but sometimes in game discussions people draw up the sales and popularity of a game to prove its quality (I don't do it, but some people do) and it would have felt nice to have that argument as a backup.
