Pokemon is still the king with above 30 million sales, and above 45 million if we count yellow version, and we should, since its basically the same game with a pikachu in steroids going after you :P

@Dallinor: Yeah, but it looked like retailers own bundle. Not official manufacturer bundle. Atleast the More Brain Training bundle was officially announced by Nintendo.

@Tuoyo: Nintendogs is about to break 20 million sometime soon.
You are right, it is a different kind of bundle, and means that Nintendogs would have done its numbers anyway.

There was an official Nintendogs bundle, i actually bought Dalmatian bundle with pink DS for my brother back then.

If you're counting games that have been bundled at all the Mario 3 has to be discounted. It was bundled in the Challege Set for a short amount of time.

Also, I'm sure you didn't take into account all the Super Mario Advance 4 sales which was essentially just a SMB3 port repackaged for the GBA.

@Rol: If i recall, it was september 2006 when i bought it. And now that i think of it, it wasn't dalmatian, it was daschund (how in the hell you're supposed to write it). It was the only version available in bundles. I would have got the daschund anyway, since it's the only version with husky (or that type of dog anyway). The clerk asked me that is it coming for a boy or a girl (because of the colour) and i told her that it doesn't matter, since my brother was 23 and cares only about the functionality.

@rasone: An official bundle?
No, i didn't count any other versions for either game. It's how it's presented in VGC database.

You know, how sad is it that a GTA game, of all things, has outsold one of the greatest games of all time? Records are made to be broken, but not like this.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

Be the ultimate ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today! Poisson Village welcomes new players.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

Haha, maybe he was joining a fraternity? A pink DS to match his pink polo?

Ok sorry, but, the bundled logic of "it doesn't count now" is bs.

The only bundled games that have a legitimate argument of not counting should be games that were launch games bundled with the launching system.

(SMB, Duck Hunt, Tetris, Wii Sports, etc)

Pokemon red/blue/green, Pokemon gold/silver, and Nintendogs are all clearly not success stories due to being bundled.

GTA:SA is a massively selling game, however, it was also bundled for a period of time with the PS2, SOURCE.
