I am not sure what point this guy is trying to establish. 9 out of the top 10 exclusive franchises are developed by Nintendo. |
Really? What are the top 10 exclusive franchises then?
|
From the last generation only (No 3DS or WIi U numbers):
Wii Sports/Play - 135 million
Pokemon - 73 million
New Super Mario Bros. - 55 million
Mario Kart - 55 million
Brain Age/Academy - 45 million
Wii Fit - 44 million
Halo 36 million
Super Mario (3D) - 27 million
Nintendogs - 25 million
Mario and Sonic at the Olympics 24 million
And if you don't want to count 3D and 2D Mario as separate franchises, then #11 - Legend of Zelda would be the new #10 at 19 million.
#12 is Gears of War at 18 million, then Animal Crossing and Kinect Sports are each around 17 million. The Dragon Quest games land between 16 and 17 million. Sony is not nearly as powerful a player with exclusive franchises: The highest Sony exclusive franchises were Uncharted and Monster Hunter at 15 million on par with the Professor Layton games, followed by Gran Turismo at 12 million.
These do not include Wii Ware or Virtual console versions of the franchises. Otherwise, Nintendo franchises would be even higher.
The bottom line is that Nintendo is by far the most powerful when it comes to exclusive franchises.

Here is an edited list of exclusive top 10 franchises on wii.
Wii Sports/Play/Fit - a shitload of sales
Mario whatnot - a lot of sales
Zelda - 15.4m sales
Since we are talking about home consoles, there is little point to list handheld franchise numbers.
