Minecraft a platformer??

btw count Mario as whole. Why'd you split them?



A shame that some European sales numbers are missing for 360 and Wii.

Either way you might want to add Ghost Recon, though it's difficult where to put it as the console version of GRAW can be played as FPS and TPS. But Future Soldier and possibly all future iterations are going to be TPS.

Also maybe add a Beat'em up genre ?

Well Galaxy and Bros. shouldn't be splitted but the rest definitely should.
Though it's debatable if Paper Mario should be under platformer or RPG.

Yea, Mario platformers should be counted as a whole. Sub genres like Kart, sport and paper are seperate. Paper Mario is not a platformer and neither is Minecraft. Also as someone said, skip digital cuz we dont have numbers for everybody.

I used the numbers that was available to me and I see no reason to ignore digital as long as we know the numbers.  However I must not have paid attention when I put Minecraft on platformers.  I assume it is Action/ Adventure.

I will make a fix but it will be a while since I have to change a lot of things in the graph when i make a change.

Mario Galaxy and New Super mario Bros are seperate series and will be treated as so.




       

Most categories seem close, other than FPS and WRPG on the 360's side. The 360's FPS dominance is impressive. Platformer, however ... I don't get that.



But it isn't really accurate to compare units sold of a 10$ game to a 60$ game..
