But it doesn't sell more games. Just look at last gen for example. Just because you sell more games in the first year or so compared to a game that has legs doesn't mean your a bigger seller.

It does sell more games. Add the sales of main series Pokémon games in any given year to those of Mario Kart games, and most years Pokémon will come out on top. Kart probably takes it in '08 with the release of Wii, but that's about it.

You seem confused. We're not comparing sales of individual games here, we're comparing sales of franchises, as the title suggests. And Pokémon as a franchise sold more games last generation than Mario Kart did.

I'm confused
