Wow at Nintendo. They really just keep them coming.. SSBB and MKWii will be on that list very soon!

 



Around the Network

wii sports will most likely end up at #1



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

Update. Some big jumps, some new games reaching the list.

#100 Big Brain Academy    4.66M
Will become DS's 9th 5-million selling game.

#99 Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories   4.66M
While this is the lowest ranking of any major system's top-selling game, it also ranks higher than any third party game on a Nintendo handheld.

#95 World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade   4.81M

#90 Gears of War   4.94M
Up from #92 despite being passed by Mario Galaxy

#73 Super Mario Galaxy   5.35M
Up from #97; Undertracking and continued brisk sales moved this game up the list quickly.

#65 Super Mario 64 DS   5.61M
Up from #68; recently passed Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2.

#47 Halo 3   7.06M
Closing in on the likes of Ocarina, Half-Life and Myst! (Has already passed them in shipments).

#35 Animal Crossing: Wild World   8.78M
Up from #36.

#33 World of Warcraft   9.19M

#32 Mario Kart DS   9.22M
Did I miss this one before? It is closing in on #26 Mario Kart 64 at 9.87M.

#29 Wii Play   9.42M

#28 More Brain Training   9.65M
& #21 Brain Training   11.19M
Both are perpetual top 10 sellers across Europe as they were in Japan some time ago. More Brain Training made a surprise top 10, 600K + showing in NPD's American numbers for December.

#18 New Super Mario Bros.   13.04M

#17 Pokemon Diamond/Pearl   13.39M
Could become the second DS game to outsell every game of last gen, with #12 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas at 15.23M, and #11 the Sims at 16.08M both in sight.

#10 Nintendogs   16.94M
To become Europe's best-selling game ever?

#8 Wii Sports   17.81M

 

 

And maybe most interesting is the bubbling-under section...

#105 Zelda: Twilight Princess   4.46M

#111 Mario Party 8    4.35M
I really hope this doesn't catch Twilight Princess.

#115 Call of Duty 4 (X360)   4.32M
Huge jump up due to undertracking. Original XBox has two games in the top 100; the first two Halos at #54/6.43M and #37/8.45M. XBox 360 will soon have 3 games from three different franchises in the top 100, including a third party multi-platform game. Competing yearly franchise Medal of Honor has two higher ranking games, both for PS2. #102 MoH: Rising Sun at 4.65M will clearly be passed. #58 MoH: Frontline at 6.29M would be more difficult to catch. This is still a huge breakthrough for the series, which never broke 3M sales even on PS2, and one of the more obvious reasons Activision is threatening MoH-publisher EA as third party king.

#153 Forza Motorsport 2   3.51M

#160 The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass   3.44M

#190 Assassin's Creed (X360)   3.18M

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Zelda should sell better.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

#18 NSMB (DS) 13.24M

#17 Pokemon D/P (DS) 13.73M

#9 Nintendogs (DS) 17.44M
Passed Super Mario Bros. 3 to become Shigeru Miyamoto's most successful non-pack-in game ever.

#7 Wii Sports (Wii) 19.07M
About to pass Super Mario World... I wish I knew how long the SMW pack-in lasted to compare Wii and SNES.

Wii sports only would take #1 cause its a pack-in.

So?  Super Mario Bros., the current no. 1, was also a pack-in.

Thanks for keeping this up-to-date Erik.  



Need to update WoW. There are over 10 million subscribers now. I don't really care how that's happened or what the site says, having 10 million paying players right now (let alone in the 3 year history -- we'd probably be talking 15 million at a minimum, but that's guesswork) can't equate to 9 million copies. Just silly :p
