I'm actually suprised at some of these things. Sonic is in it for one. No Capcom franchise whatsoever. Mario is not first, but that's because they've included Mario Kart seperately. LEGO is bigger than Grand Theft Auto and The Sims is still huge.

Lol, they only count Mario as one franchise. That's what I've always done myself. This is only NPD and GFK though.

EA is insane.

They counted 'Mario' and 'Mario Kart' seperately, for some reason.

I take it the Mario entry includes NSMB, 3D Mario and Mario Party. But I agree, either split the franchise up into all of it's different series, or really count it as one. I don't know if Mario & Sonic at the Olympics is included with 'Mario' or with 'Sonic' though. I'm guessing the latter since that would explain how Sonic even makes the top 20.

No, they didn't. As far as we know, they include every single game with Mario in its title. If you look at VgChartz data, it doesn't matter whether they included Mario Kart or not, COD would still outsell it.

Did you even read the entire list?
