Excuuuuuse me, but 2 are GTA and one is the sims!



Pokemon Gold/Silver.

I used to play that shit for hours and hours.



Not surprising that Playstation wants to compete in the handheld race after looking at those games.
And we all know how well the PSP software is selling each week...



Around the Network

Yes, Nintendo is absolutely the winner of the industry despite N64 and GameCube. Some of those games have been bundled with consoles, but some others no, like Nintendogs, Pokemon or New Super Mario Bros.



The Wii is dominating just like the PS2 did last generation. I think the Wii is probably doing a little bit better. However, the PS2 is continuing to keep selling.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Woo hoo... *kisses goodbye to the good gaming generation and says hello to mario party 100' lol



Well that kinda throws out 3rd parties cant compete on nintendo platform when they cant even compete on all platform vs nintendo 1st party.



I TAKE NO SIDES

I own 13 of those games. Go Ninty!
