Forums - Sales - TOP 10 GAME SALES WILL BE OWNED BY NINTENDO IN A YEAR!!!

Here is my guess of the two games that will give Nintendo the Top Ten Worldwide Game Sales.

        Wii Sports will passed The Sims currently at Number 9 this Holiday season. Pokemon Ruby / Sapphire     down         to Number 11.

        Nintendogs will passed The Sims and take Number 10. But Wii Fit might have a chance because this game is         unpredictable and new to the industry.

Now for the possible deal breakers: None, I do not see any non-Nintendo game that could break the Top 10 in the foreseeable future. Not even Halo!!! Looks like Nintendo will hold this title for this generation. TOP 10!!!!

That is astonishing.



It becomes slightly less impressive once you take out packaged software ;)

Most of them were pack-ins. Not implying that doesn't count, but you can't compare Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow sales with Tetris.

Pack in games don't count for overall sales, the same goes with games that have more then one name like the pokemon ones and nintendogs. I would also like to know what is all lumped together in "The sims" sales. The only game in the top that deserves to be up there is Super Mario Bros 3 which i have never seen packed with a system.



I don't agree with that. Pokemon and Nintendogs individual game sales should definitely count as they are games consumers go and buy at the store.

If we have to take these out, then we also cannot count problematic consoles being re-bought or add up DS/DSLite sales, PSP/PSPLite sales, etc...



You have to see the actual numbers to get a better feel for it. Sure some of the titles were pack-ins - at some stages - but not for all of the sold units.

Diamond & Pearl will get on that list eventually. New Super Mario isn't that far off either.

Its still a very impressive performance, for a single developer.

 Pack in games don't count? So Resistance has sold 2 copies total?

Give or take a few hundred thousand.

 Of course they don't count. They do not accurately reflect the number of units sold. Consumption afterall, requires a choice, a packin title removes that choice, therefore consumers have not chosen that software. It would take an unbelievably ignorant person for instance to argue that SMB would sell 40m with out being packaged with the system, in reality it would've been a miracle for it to sell half that under competitive pressures.
