That's like saying the herpes is the most common disease because your girlfriend spreads it to everybody.

That is clear trolling. Reported.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Looks like VGChartz overtracked more than undertracked.

NSMB I'll forgive because they had to track the hardware bundle in America. But, on the other hand, Brain Training looks well tracked. So... That's odd.

Cooking is the one that looks really fouled up.

Mario Sluggers keeps the streak alive... Every Mario game released this generation has sold at least 1m units.
