I think its pretty well accepted that vgc software sales are no where close to real totals and hardware are only close to accurate because of constant reports. I dare you to show me when i ever pointed to vgc to "serve a point." You wont find it. If you cant accept that then you get the fuck out.

Seriously, its a well known fact that vgc database is largely incomplete. Using vgc sw sales is like using wiki in a scool paper as a source. it was even suggested at on point to get rid of sw tracking. Which gained a lot of support but ultimately turned down because "nothing would differentiate vgc then." Ontop of that your comparison is flawed even if VGC sales were complete. And youre telling me to gtfo? Lol. Get a grip

So you say, the TOP 15 would contain a lot other console games, if sales data are correct? Wii sports or Pokemon wouldn't show up, because VGC can't track right?

So, to show your true wisdom: tell everyone what you think a real list with the real sales data would look like - would Nintendo still have the majority int the Software-list or not?

Or you could name the games that are so hheavily overtracked by VGC that they would leave the TOP15 and the games that are so heavily undertracked that they would enter the TOP 15.

Damn Nintendo sure used to be great

LOL only a few years ago they were peaking, They could easily hit these numbers again sometime in the future.

you think the 3ds or wii U will add any games to that list :D?

3DS possibly. Not WiiU. SNES, N64 and GC haven't a game there too.

If NSMBU remains bundled I could see it reaching it.

people just need to accept that Nintendo sold more software. It doesn't mean Sony/Microsoft is doomed. Just accept (Seece and Max, hi)

There is a low level of civility in this thread, and that needs to change. Do not antagonize countervailing arguments, Francis, and others should simply make their counterpoints instead of simply calling for the thread to be locked (looking at you, Seece)

The thread IS misleading though, that's why it should be locked. Especially when an accurate version will be up soon (Carl's).

Also, don't blame people for having a dig at the OP, go look at his post history.

I accept that Nintendo has more games in the top of tbe list due to being reliant on massively bundling games more than any other console and being in the business longer than anyone else and having a monopoly for two decades in the handheld business. Now, i think you all need to accept the list above

This. I don't care that the top 15 is Nintendo, what I care is that it isn't accurate. Nintendo doesn't have the top 15 selling Software of all time. Games are not broken down by sku anywhere but here. Companies, devs, publishers, big 3, investors ect will look at the entire GAME's sales. And no that doesn't mean all tetris skus added together (don't be dumb).

You can debate that sure. It's essentially free though, but hey why are we not adding mobile games here? Didn't Plants Vs Zombies 2 rocket past 22m in like a month?

Angry Birds > top 15 Nintendo skus combined.
