Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Pokemon ORAS is the Best Selling Game of The Year!

According to VGChartz, Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire are the best selling single SKU games of 2014!  This is actually the first time Pokemon has had this title in all of VGC history, which goes back to 2005, starting with seventh gen systems.  It's odd, because this is a remake, and it still sold less than XY in 2013.  It's really because of the competition for the title.

So usually when I make a thread I leave a question to guide the discussion, but this time I've got nothing!  So forum, what is your favorite type of cheese?

Not well deserved. I contributed to that sale, but no Battle Frontier and too much water.

If we're starting to put games together why not Smash 3DS and Smash Wii U?

Pretty impressive, didn't think that ORAS would be the best selling games of the year because they're remakes but hey it's Pokemon.



2 different SKU's. If you're combining them then technically we can combine the PS4 and PS3 versions of Fifa 15 and that would be the top selling game of the year.

Wow, #1 game is only 5 million? That seems bad.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
