The point you make about OoT goes against what most generally consider, though - when talking about OoT sales, they are usually stated as a combination of all releases, unless otherwise stated. Thus, most of the games, then, would be counted as follows: Star Fox (SNES): 2.99m; Star Fox (SNES:C): 5.28m; Star Fox (total): >8.27m etc. Nah, it's becoming more and more clear that it should be considered an 8th gen release to support the 4th gen family - aka, option #2. |
I can see option 2 working in some cases; you can compare Super Mario Bros 2 with Super Mario Bros 3 while counting both their rereleases on GBA. However I’d say it’s unfair if there was no (comparable) rerelease for a certain game; I wouldn’t compare Yoshi’s Island with it’s GBA rerelease to Yoshi’s Story. Bringing releases on the classic consoles into it becomes even more murky though, is the SNES Classic bought for Star Fox?
