God of War is the bigger franchise.Using the DS as a scapegoat is ridiculous.Hanheld games generally lean toward every little kid out there.When AC sells that much on the wii,then we'll talk.That's also like saying that AC is bigger or as big as Halo.Ridiculous folly.

 

Right now, yes, Animal Crossing is a more purchased game than Halo. I think it's hilarious that people think you can ignore the DS. Like last year all the people who said Halo was the best selling game of the year when it was really a very distant third (behind Pokemon in first and Wii Play in second).

Here's a shocker for you: Right now, Nintendogs is the biggest franchise in the world, and will easily be the best selling game not bundled with hardware this generation, and possibly the best selling in the HISTORY of gaming.

Just for the record, Nintendogs was bundled with the DS in Europe in late 2005. That was the only way to get a DS Phat with a different color (blue or pink) at the time.

 

I bought that pink DS in America for a stupid ex-girlfriend, and sold the Nintendogs, just to get her a good Pearl Pink DS to match my Japanese-imported Candy Pink DS.  Then I dumped the bitch.

But since the bundle was after the game was out on its own for a while, and was for Christmas and the colors and whatnot, I think the bundle effect is negligible.  Either way, I count all bundles.
