I think it’s fair to have those when comparing any sort of multi-platform complication of numbers. It will also make the number BotW hits all that more impressive when it finally surpasses those.

On a single platform, BotW is already well on its way to #1. That number matters too.

 

It’s a shame we don’t have VC numbers. Back in the day, VGCarts made an attempt at tracking those, but not in any proper way.

OOT3D and TPHD are remakes and remasters that came over a decade later, they're not really releases of the initial version it would be like adding the sales of Fire Emblem Echoes to Fire Emblem Gaiden.

This is correct. We could also compare games including remakes but it messes up numbers in reality.

 

Recent ex:

MK8 it sold 8.5mil+ on wiiu but if you add the NSW version its currenty 16mil

 

More examples

 

Pokemon (oh god)

Gen1 45mil

Gen2 36mil

Gen3 30mil

Mario 64 24mil (SMO has to beat this?)

Metroid return of samusb(1mil+)

Fire emblem 1 2mil+ (if you count all its remakes)

 

You get the idea :P
