Look at the legs, If this weren't coming to PS4/X1 i think 45mil would be possible. 50mil is definitely possible and should happen lifetime. Crazy Sales. Mario Kart 35mil+ (Best Selling on a single Console) and GTA5 50mil+ (Multiplat that is going to be the highest selling game of all time excluding Wii Sports) is just insane. Years ago, if somebody said these type of sales would happen, you'd look delusional XD.

Also to Note, Are these the best selling games on X360+PS3 individually? Thats anther achievement. X360 best game excluding Kinect Sports is COD (i think best one was 15mil) and PS3 was also a COD (or was it Gran Turismo 5?)

why do u expect a game with 34m shipped sales to have to big legs without hardware bundles or anything?

who will buy the next 15m?

double dipper? tripple dipper?

new gamers who not already own the game? not many exist ;)

dont think we will see 50m or even 45. but 40+ could easily happen

Wow, that's massive. I could see it crossing 40m but not 50m.

So let's re-release a year later since so many people didn't get a chance to play it.

Well if there's demand for it, then release it again. That's the excuse most people give for remasters and its true.

I'll double dip for sure this Christmas. GTA games are those rare ones I ever cared to play multiple times (except for GTA IV, of course).

It will pass Super Mario Bros soon. I guess if you count Wii Sports it won't be the best selling game ever but honestly I don't count a game that's bundled with every console for so long and SMB was bundled with a lot but I'll still allow it for argument's sake

I personally don't count a game that launches on multiple consoles beating a game that's exlusive to one console as a fair comparison.

I personally don't count a game that recieved more than half of It's sales from bundles as a fair comparison. That includes both Wii Sports and SMB.

I don't either. Comparing sales should be an apples to apples thing imo.

It should though, as the bundles aren't free. A sale is a sale. I mean we dont do it when we compare Titanfall to other games and that was heavily bundled. So we shouldnt compare MK8 to anything either in that sense :)

Knack was forced to be boughten for japan (first week or 2), but that still counts. Though that game heavily benefited from bundling as Wii Sports Did. MKWii does not. Even if Half of the sales were bundles, thats 17.5mil, then you have to ask yourself out of the other 17.5mil, how many would of bought mkwii anyway if it weren't bundled? I mean they did buy the bundle most likely for mkWii right?
