I cannot wait until Mario Odyssey comes out so we can see some comparisons. My money is that it will do better than Mario Galaxy.

It has a shot at becoming the best-selling 3D Mario game.

ARMS is up.

That was a tricky one. There is no clear convention or general consensus about determining fighter sub-genres; let's say we have:

 

  • Arena Fighters: Pokken Tournament, ARMS, Punch-Out!!
  • Platform Fighters: Ultra Street Fighter II, Tekken 7, Marvel VS Capcom series, Blazblue, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct
  • Party Brawlers: Super Smash Bros series, Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale
Lucky enough, Nintendo had two other series to draw comparisons from. Feel free to ask me if you want Smash Bros to be added, but lemme warn you: it destroys ARMS in a very unfashionable way.

 



Tagging



Super Mario Odyssey, First of Its Name, Breaker of Records and Father of Platforming is now up.

Graph will of course be updated when Odyssey releases. I chose Galaxy, Galaxy 2 and 3D Land for the graph because 3D World will be no match and 64 can't be added.

Next up, Xenoblade.



Jesus christ Nintendo...

You should put abbreviations for the Mario games or something. Otherwise it is kind of hard to read the names.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

You mean, the games crunched in the table? Because Mario Kart and Zelda should be changed as well.

If you're talking about the graph, I can't help on that. VGC won't let me use abbreviations for the chart legend and labels.



It'd be a good idea to have a column on the chart that compares the games in sales directly in the same time period instead of just LTD, as the graph isn't always easy to read which one is leading and by how much.

Overall though, great thread.

I was talking about the names on the graph.  Also you using VGC explains that wierd graph labels.

The graphs could stand to be cleaned up a bit. Would it be possible to export the data to excel and then copy, paste a graph from there?

Regardless, fantastic idea for a thread and I am definitely tagging.
