I know this thread is about favorites... but I wanted to look up the top 5 franchises sales-wise..

1. Mario 313.9m

2. Pokemon 156.2m

3. Grand Theft Auto 61.5m

4. Final Fantasy 58.6m

5. Gran Turismo 46.9m

 

I counted all the spin-off games too.. but wow. In case anyone was wondering, Zelda series has sold 47.3m followed shortly by Tetris at 46.6m. The highest-selling Xbox/360 series is, of course, Halo but its only at 22.4m.

 

I think your numbers may be a tad bit off. 

 



 

 

here are 5 in no order (probably not my top 5):
jak and daxter
mario
contra
burnout
nfl blitz

hmmm, that's tough cause most of the games i like are one offs or have 1 sequel. i was trying to think of franchises with at least 5 entries where i liked most or all of them.

blitz 01 for DC= best sports game ever.



Hmm for me it'll be

1. Final Fantasy
2. Gran Turismo
3. Metal Gear Solid
4. Mario
5. Resident Evil

Those are probably it, maybe a little different if i sat there and really thought about it. But one thing is for sure. Final Fantasy is number 1 =D

Yeah, I realized that after checking.

The problem is that it only find games with "Final Fantasy" or "Mario" in the title, even if they're not considered part of the series.

Plus Mario is in the title of nearly every game he's in, whereas there are several Final Fantasy related games (such as Chocobo Dungeon) where Final Fantasy isn't in the title.

I honestly don't know FF shows such low numbers there, the series has certainly sold more than GTA. I wonder what's missing.
