A fair comparison for each of the 3 biggest 1st party games. As I've said before you can view the comparisons differently so here you go.


Each generation is broken down and average per game as well as average per year

So Mario is the best selling title? Not surprised. (Also not surprised that it was released the most per year... yeesh!)



But it really isn't a fair comparison, is it? I mean, all the Mario games listed likely include the smaller titles, like Party, Sports etc., which drags down the average whilst upping the overall number of games.

A fairer comparison would be 2D and 3D Mario only.

And wow, up your game Gran Turismo

Would that make the sales of Mario games (overall) lesser?
