I don't know if anyone has said this, but technically, shouldn't we include Mario Kart DS as well into MK's figures - as we are including GT PSP and GT5:P, which released in the same timeframe...


No.  I just wanted to show everybody how foolish people has been in previous threads.  I wanted to show that one game in the same genre can outsell all of them combined because of all the flame wars here recently.  People can ignore that sure, but people need not to make foolish comparisons to create flame wars by ignoring other things too.

well done i think you've succeeded. then if need be we can make a thread talking about which brand has sold the most games accross an equal number of consoles, or consoles released accross all 3 brands.

if MS wins, then Sony and ninity have egg on thier face. if ninty wins with Sony having sold the most home consoles, then Sony has the egg. but if Sony wins with ninty having released more consoles then the egg is on thier face. 

this is the kind of thing that could shut everyone and thier comparrision threads up.

If I read that correctly then I already did in the past lol about a month ago actually.

Wii has sold over 800m games
X360 has sold around 750m
PS3 is around 620m

Something like that. I also did published games which went like this

Wii - Was a lot is all i can remember.  Im thinking 300m
X360 - 140m
PS3 - 105m

As I cant remember exactly it is something around this area.  Which is why it baffles me on some of the arguments we see on this site.  Going to go ahead and give you a tip on a future argument too.  PS3 is getting ready to pass X360 in games that has reached 1m in sells.  Because of this their will be a thread made and an argument to follow.  I could actually do this before somebody else but I will not have part of that kind of thread. People will look at this and ignore that MSFT and Nintendo has both done better with software because a lot of their games has chances of selling 3m+ 

But thanks bro, appreciate it.

Something to note about Mario Kart.

The series tends to have unbelievable attach-rates. Pretty amazing.

Super Mario Kart - 8.8 Million
SNES - 49 Million
~17%

Mario Kart 64 - 9.9 Million
N64 - 32.9 Million
~30%

Mario Kart Double Dash - 6.95 Million
Gamecube - 21.75 Million
~32%

Mario Kart Wii - 33.3 Million
Nintendo Wii - 98.6 Million
~33%


That's actually a pretty interesting note.

I wonder how MK7's attach rate is doing. Do you know?

Uh, yes. Back in 2007.

And Gears of War still would if Uncharted wasn't the most bundled HD exclusive this generation, it'd bet the franchises sales would be 30% less if you don't include bundled sales. Gran Turismo would too if the Forza games weren't massively bundled, then again GT games are massively bundled too. I wish we could see sales of games without bundled numbers included so we could see how popular something truly is rather than how artificially boosted it's been due to bundling. 

People pick the bundles they want when they decide to buy a console, so removing bundle sales wouldn't accurately reflect how popular the game is. 

Can't say I agree with that. People pick the bundles offered to them. If they could pick any game they wanted to as part of a bundle then I doubt everyone would pick the same game. People buy bundles for all kinds of reasons, not necessarily for the game being bundled. I think I've had enough of saying the world bundle for now.

well i can't agree with that. i'd have taken the LBP, MNR, GT5, and UC bundles cause i want all those games.

now i don't know if you know how much i hate COD, but i can't stand COD!! no really i can't stand COD. it's like a stain on the market, or wore. it's liek really bad breath.

now if you think i'm going to buy a COD bundled PS3 because it's being offered then you've lost your mind! but that is the logic you're using right?

well your logic is wrong.

Er not quite the same . If you’re going to buy a console most of us are not going to wait until it's bundled with a game we want cause it's unlikely to happen. You buy a console because you want one or it's a present during Xmas or Birthdays plus a host of other reasons I can't be bothered to come up with. One reason is of course seeing it advertised bundled with a game you want and so it tips the scales in favour of buying it. But usually with bundles they are offered not alongside of but rather in lieu of standalone consoles most notably during holiday seasons.

One more thing. I'm no grammar Nazi but jeez at least make an effort with capitalisation especially considering your 26 years of age. I assumed you were in your teens because of your writing style. You used capital letters to abbreviate games but not for the beauty that is the English language? The shame!

Using numbers from the 22nd...

Mario Kart 7 - 7.2 Million
Nintendo 3DS - 26.3 Million
~27%

Worth noting though that Portable Mario Kart doesnt tend to have an attach-rate as good as Home Console Mario Kart in the long run

That's still quite good.

I wonder how MK7 will play out in the long run. Last time I checked it seemed to have started selling more than SM3DL. (I'll have to check on YoY, However. I can't remember that.)

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

LOL


but aren't you being a bit unfair here?



Maybe I'm being unfair to nintendo facing one game against 7 in about the same time frame. 


Well Lady Gaga is also the most followed artist in social networks... She must be the best musician ever.

Hope we all keep in mind that this is sales based only. Quality/critical acclaim is a totally different matter.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

yea but you limited it to this gen. my idea was to add all home consoles released by Sony, MS, and Nintendo.

but we both know the amount of spinning we'd see as to why something or other, even though the facts sit right there in front of them.
