It doesn't matter! It has still sold more and is still selling.

It doesn't matter! GTA SA sold those 30m+ copies on it's own. while MKW sold 34m with a buttload of bundles.

I don't care how much it sells, you said its the best selling NON BUNDLED GAME EVER, and i proved you wrong.


GTA SA hasn't sold 30m on it's own, provide a credible source before making such claims otherwise it seems like you're making stuff up.

this forum is going to shit fast lol

actually GTA: SA sold 50 million!!!!

see i can do that too. people plz give us some links lol. there is not one link in this thread with a source providing evidence for any of these numbers.



Supposedly the 27.5 million figure is coming straight from Rockstar. This is a 2011 figure, so I wouldn't confirm or deny that the game sold more than 30 million copies across all versions, combining digital and retail. At any rate, Mario Kart was bundled. GTA had multiple versions and re-releases. We should invalidate these sales, no? ;)

I personally think it is worth noting that the best-selling non-bundled (not bundled with either a console or peripheral) single-version game ever is... rather impossible to find. I found one seemingly official bundle for Wii + Super Mario Galaxy, and that's the closest I'm probably going to get.

Embarrassing my self for stating the obvious?

MKW is bundled everywhere. You obviously don't know much about the game, because if you did you wouldn't have said what you said. and if you don't believe me, heres a  LINK

I don't trust Kotaku. Thankfully this article was proven false (hence the correction) and official sales numbers for San Andreas were given.

RIGHT NOW.

Is it that hard to understand it was not bundled before. it was bundled it late 2011, by then, it sold more than 27 million copies.

GTA was also bundled, rereleased, and had multiple versions therefore your point is invalid

Pokémon is Nintendo's biggest franchise, providing we're splitting Mario up into subseries.


Well it seems that both 2D Mario and Mario Kart have become more popular as of late.

It seems that way because no Pokémon game sells 20-30 million any more. But Pokémon games are released far more frequently than any Mario series. All of the main series Pokémon games on DS alone combine for over 57 million sales, more than Mario Kart's DS and Wii outings combined.

I proved my point. Now it's your turn to prove yours. give me a link.
