Would you have been an Xbox fan if it had not been for Halo?

I'm not saying Halo isn't important for Microsoft, but I honestly don't believe that it is as important as mario on nintendo. Think about. Are there any franchises on nintendo consoles third party or otherwise that have sold more than mario?

Wii Sports.

Wii Sports has not outsold mario as a franchise.

I don't know what to tell you.

Did you do the math on that list? I have the Wii Sports franchise at 194.13 and Mario at 242.92... am I missing something or did you just prove me right?

I'm also pretty sure you are missing a few mario games there. Also games starring Princess Peach, Luigi, Wario, Yoshi should also be included as part of the mario franchise.
