@Wman1996 I agree with this, and it does help that Mario Party is not a yearly franchise anymore (based on their release schedule, the Switch 2 will likely have just 2 Mario Parties, one in 2027 and one in 2030). Mario Party probably would've been Top 5 on GameCube if it didn't have yearly releases.
@PAOerfulone To be fair, by the time online multiplayer was added, SMP had already sold nearly 15m units. Even without online, it was still becoming the best selling Mario Party.
