Why do people praise super Mario bros for its 40m sales when over 28m of them were down to the game being bundled with the console in the US?
I suppose by that logic, the ps1 demo disk is the highest selling game of all time.

Because it still sold greatly and was the main reason people bought the NES. And let's be honest here, that game changed the face of gaming forever.

It did sell well but worldwide would be sub 12m without the bundled-with-every-system in the us action, same goes for tetris on the gameboy too.

Back in those days though, all the rage on NES was Mario, so I think if it wasn't bundled, it would have easily eclipsed the 20-25 millon mark.

But back on topic, if no PS4 version of GTAV is announced, it could easily pass GTA:SA's 23 million sold on the PS3 alone. The thought of that is just insane.
