It's only a matter of time before Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii pass COD4 and GTA4.

lowest sales on that list are 6 million I think -- Assassins Creed

NO MGS has ever gone over 5.5 million....I doubt MGS4 would've been able to suddenly beat all previous MGS's within 4 months of release...even if it was multiplat

 

Why not?  MGS4 is currently at 3.2 millions only on the PS3 (Which is very good IMHO).  You don't think the 360 can move another 3 millions copies?  Look at GTAIV, the 360 version did better.

Splitting the game between two consoles does not double it's sales, it would have helped sales for sure, perhaps to the extent of having around 4 million currently (probalby spilt 55:45 in favour of X360)

Assassin's Creed is still up there? Am I the only one that thinks only Multiplayer Games are going to be in the Top ten? Super mario Galaxy and Assasin's creed are the only big single player games still up there. If you don't count GTA IV that is.

Assassins creed is week or two away from being knocked off by another Wii game.

Tease.

1. Wii Sports 28.6m

2. Wii Play - 14.72m

3. GTA IV - 10.34m

4. COD IV - 9.98m

5. Halo 3 - 8.21m

6. Guitar Hero III - 8.12m (12.35m with PS2 version)

7. Mario Kart Wii - 7.69m

8. Wii Fit - 7.41m

9. Super Mario Galaxy - 6.91m

10. Assassins Creed - 6.75m (not counting PC version)

This is an interesting list. I'd switch Guita Hero III up into third place, myself.

Let's see what counting handhelds does to this list (and counting Guitar Hero like I would).

1. Wii Sports - 28.6m

2. Nintendogs - 19.58m

3. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - 15.83m (about 17m with Platinum)

4. New Super Mario Bros. - 15.59m

5. Wii Play - 14.72m

6. Brain Age - 14.07m

7. Guitar Hero III - 12.35m

8. Brain Age 2 - 12.01m

9. Mario Kart DS - 11.82m

10. GTA IV - 10.34m

Wow. I guess Nintendo kind of runs the world if you count the DS. No wonder one wouldn't want to.

I don't think thats true. The userbases for the most part are different entities. A game releasing on the PS3 like LBP does not effect the sales of Fable 2 or vice versa.

 



Tease.

Actually SSBB is already ahead of Assassins Creed.... so you can edit it now if you like

...but they are talking about the same game being released on multiple platforms, not 2 exclusives being released on 2 different platforms.

So your saying if MGS4 had released on the 360 as well as the PS3 it would have sold the same? if so you are as crazy as bonkers for thinking it would double sales.

It is not as crazy as you saying MGS would sell only 800k or something on 360. ;P
