@ Nordlead Senior (:P)

Tomodachi is a confirmed NO to the west?
Or simply there's no word about it?



Around the Network

The list is bullshit. I can tell you for a fact that World of Warcraft has sold several millions more than 12 million.

Which means who knows what other titles we havent thought of that should be on the list. Which means this is an utter shit and useless list.

So firstly, I assume we are ignoring multiplatform games, because then no

If we are going to ignore that, then maybe. I don't expect any PS3 or 360 games to break the 15m mark, let alone the 18m mark to beat San Andreas, so the question is, can that many more Wii/DS games get above 18m, and I don't any more than just a few will.

Mario Kart DS and Wii Sports resort are very likely, and maybe NSMB Wii sometime next year, but beyond that, I am not sure if any new games are going to take over from Nintendo's current top selling games

Also, I see no title for PS3 or 360 or PC capable of pulling 12M+ sales, so we can dismiss those.

This is a complete lie. Not only does the list you showed doesn't have The Sims 2 or World of Warcraft (which could very well have sold over 20 millions), but recently 10+ millions performers came out on PC:

WoW: The Burning Crusade
WoW: Wrath of the Lich King
The Sims 3

All those 3 above will easily sell above 10 millions. And within the next 2 years it's coming out on PC:

Starcraft 2
Diablo 3
WoW: Cataclysm

PC has now become big and popular enough to spill out 10+ million sellers every year.



I don't think Nintendo will dominate the top 25 anytime soon. San Andreas is pretty high up there, also.



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

wasn't san andreas also bundled? at least as much as pokemons and mario 3....

plus Wii sports sales in Japan is the proof that the title deserves it's spot! (or at least 30+M sales)



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

The list is how it is on VGChartz and pretty everywhere else.

 


If you think that multiplatform games should be counted as a single platform, which obviously isn't, then go tell that to whoever built those lists and don't tell that to me.

Also, I think we could ignore the PC games, afterall people do that when talking about "X360 exclusives" that are also on the PC but are ignored due to this being a console driven website.

Also I only see non Wii owners bitching about multiplat games and bundles. Talk about coincidence.

I can tell you for a fact that until you don't have a link for proof of those World of Warcraft sales, I'll trust on VGCz list rather than on your own thoughts.

And I am tempted to report you due to that weird choice of words to describe my thread. I'll think about it.



Well, yeah, it's possible. Though this doesn't include something like World of Warcraft (nobody knows how much that's sold) or other games digitally distributed, Nintendo can dominate VGC's list.

14 PS2 - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Rockstar Games  18.16
16 Pokémon Diamond / Pearl Version Nintendo  17.36
17 Mario Kart DS Nintendo  17.35
23 Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day Nintendo  14.60 (outside shot)
25 Wii Sports Resort Nintendo  12.81

I left out the ones that will pass it up. On top of this will be NSMB Wii, Pokemon HG/SS, Wii Fit+. This brings San Andreas down to #21, so Nintendo needs 5 more 20 million sellers before 3rd parties come up with any. It's definitely possible.



No, won't happen. GTA:SA will be a fixture, and Blizzard has some new blockbusters coming up- among other reasons.
