LOL! worst thing to say

Haha, Mario is on his fifth 2d adventure in 25 years. Call of Duty is on it's 6th in 6 years. 4 Mario Kart's since the SNES, how many Halo's?

Who's milking now?

I don't see Mario outselling MW2 360 in America before the end of Jan. It will have outsold it WW before 09 ends though.

Nintendo will have the biggest 'casual' game of 09, Wii Sports Resort at 11M and the biggest 'core' game of 09, with Mario at ~9M. Once word of mouth on Mario 5 kicks in we'll see him outsell all versions of MW2 combined and more.

Donkey Kong which was the first game to feature Mario I believe, then you go into Donkey Kong Junior, then that arcade Mario bros. pipe game with 2 player co-op and competetive, then Super Mario bros. Super Mario bros. 2, Super Mario bros. 3, Super Mario Land,  Super Mario Land 2, Super World, Super Mario All Stars, Super Mario World 2, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario & Sonic olympic games thing, Super Mario Galaxy, Paper Mario, MArio and Luigi: Bowser's inside story, Super Mario Kart, Super Paper Mario, Paper Mario: the thousand year door, Mario Tennis, Dr. Mario, Mario is missing (yea that luigi game), Super Mario RPG: Legend of the 7 stars, mario kart 64, Mario Superstar Baseball, Mario Party 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...., not including the Mario golf games, etc......in your famous words "Who's milking now?" Oh and btw, on the Wii alone there are about 11 Mario and Mario related titles. The 360 has Halo 3, Halo ODST (more of an expansion but for the sake of the argument I'll use it as a full game), and Halo Wars. Halo: Reach is yet to come out, but so is Super Mario Galaxy 2. 

Is it surprising that the Wii titles are selling? Of course not given the install base but credit to where credit is due, the 360 with nearly half the install base (probably less given RROD and E74) has moved software at an amazing rate. Again this coming from a PS3 owner and fan but I am not blinded by my "brand loyalty," I enjoy games on all 3 systems but it so happens that I have been enjoying them more on my system of choice. And yes my 80gb MGS4 bundle seems to be backwards compatible with every ps1 and ps2 game i've put in so far, and trust me I do have ALOT of games. 

Oh yea, here are a few sources

WW? Yes he won!!
US? Yes it out sold the PS3 ver.

Oh we're including every possible game that features Mario on every system including arcades?

Call of Duty and GTA are both 40+ then.

Over 40 Call of Duty games in 6 years.......WOW.

Well I for one don't care per se but I think it's interesting that it's even become an issue given how hard some people laughed at Reggie after the bet was made and then again after MW2's opening week.

I agree with your second statement though.

Might wanna reply to my post too, and not just ignore it.

Proof please and cite sources while you're at it. I only see less than 9 games for the entire franchise since the original PC versions, whereas there are 11 Mario games on the Wii alone. I understand your undying need to defend your system but reality is reality and yes, Halo is being milked, FFVII was milked, but everyone in their right mind knows that the same has been the case with Mario. You also realize that I did leave out ALOT more Mario games but I am playing Triple Triad on FF8 and I lost my Quezacotl card. As for GTA since the beginning there are roughly close to 10 games for the entire series. 1,2,3,4, san andreas, vice city, chinatown wars. So again before you turn this into a bashing thread, show us all the 40+ of each franchise since its inception and then cite your sources. Oh here's a little advice, don't use wikipedia as your only source, and if you don't know why, then read more on these threads.

Every call of duty game on every possible system in 6 years.

And these are all FPS. Not like Mario who spans nearly every genre possible.
