My goal here is to collect a list of every game to have sold 10M copies across all platforms.
Here’s the rules:
~*~The Anything Goes List~*~
Counted towards same game sales:
-Games with same name and core content on different systems of the same generation.
(Example: Guitar Hero III for XBox 360, PS3, PS2 and Wii..)
-Remakes or re-releases of a game with the same core content.
(Example: Super Mario Bros. remade as Super Mario Bros. DX for GBC, or re-released as a “Famicom Mini” for GBA.)
-Games released as part of compilations on a system of the same generation.
(Example: Grand Theft Auto Double Pack for XBox counts toward both GTAIII and Vice City.)
-Multiple SKUs of games with the same core content released simultaneously for the same system.
(Example: Pokemon Red, Blue and Green.)
-Special editions, released to capitalize on a hit game, which modify the core content of the game to a small degree compared to the total amount of content in the game.
(Example: Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition)
Counted as an entirely new game:
-Remakes of an older game on a newer system which significantly alter or add to the core content.
(Example: Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen.)
-Compilations of games on a system of a later generation.
(Example: Super Mario All-Stars)
Note: the distinction is made in compilations because of the difference in paying for individual games at a lower price and "paying for the compilation." When current systems allow the option to buy games individually, a compilation is simply a good deal. When games are only available as part of a compilation, every sale of the compilation cannot be counted towards the total of every game in it; the compilation *is* the game, and is counted separately as such.

"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
