So it should ba about a billion $ in profit:
40,570,000 (games sold) x $30 (in profit for each game) - 268,000,000 (development and marketing) = $949,100,000

It is less than half of what Mojang got for Minecraft! http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/15/microsoft-buys-minecraft-creator-mojang-for-25bn

Super Mario Bros and Minecraft counting digital.

GTA V almost certainly sold more counting digital than Super Mario Bros.

I'm not sure about that. A 3-5 $ game against a full 50-60$ purchase. Adn even if we don't count digital.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

Wii Sports doesnt count. It's not a bundled game that people bought a wii to buy, unlike bundles of today. It was with EVERY wii in US/UK. Kudos GTA

But how many Wiis woud have sold without it?
