@ MRFENIX 

I don't understand where's your doubt, but i can edit the OP and say that "the following list is made of games per platform" but that would be stating the obvious.

That's all I am asking. :)

Then why don't you ask the site charts have that notice, since, again, that is the format?


  Why should I? Just make it clear that you are talking about single platform top sellers and you have no problem.

Ok lol, stop the cat fight. It's done in the OP.

I think it's pretty clear now.

According to VGC, MW2 is at 15 million yet it is not listed. You propably argue "on a single platform" but that does not make any sense on a thread about most sold games.

"Multiplatform" would also raise Nintendo game sales in a lot of these cases too though.  Games like Mario 3 (NES, GBA), Mario 64 (N64, DS) and Animal Crossing (N64, GC, DS, Wii) would all suddenly go over 20m in that case.  And the Pokemon expansions (Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum) would add to their mainline counterparts instead of counting separately, taking R/S and D/P both over 20m as well.  In fact, it's possible Nintendo would actually net more positions in a true multiplatform top 25.

"Why should I?"

Because then you'll get used to the lists that don't do that. Duh.



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

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

So animal crossing is the same game on all of those platforms? Pokemon seems to be counted that way on the chart anyway.

I am just wondering why you seem to assume that I would care if nintendo had more or less positions on that list?

I don't mean to be a troll, I'm just generally curious in your justification.

Why is it okay to have two different (Or in one case 3 :/) Pokemon games sales combined into one game, but not combine the same games sales on two different platforms?

If Modern Warfare 2 PS3 and Modern Warfare 2 360 are different games, so are Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Red :/.

I understand your point. Having all 3 pokemon games counted separately is the same as having Gears of War 2 and Gears of War 2 Special Edition counted differentely. It isn't that way and neither makes sense because it's the same game in the same platform with minor changes.

MW2 is the same game on both systems, but they're different systems and the list is about individual titles.

If you will, find a list of the most sold games mixing all platforms and all that and post here to discuss. Don't know if such a list is available though.

If that's the case what about Singstar Vol. 1-3 on the PS3 all the same games with a different set of songs. What about Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia Final Fantasy Universal Tuning?

Now you got him by his balls.

For reference, here's the top 25 "multiplatform" Nintendo games... I didn't add complete remakes (Like Fire Red / Leaf Green to RGBY) or compilations to totals (ie: Mario-All Stars to SMB1/2/3, DK Classics to DK/Jr/3, Mother 1+2, Dr. Mario + Puzzle League, etc) or "hidden" releases (ie: DK in DK64, NES games in Animal Crossing GC, etc).  I did add upgrades though (ie: Wii Fit Plus to Wii Fit, Tetris DX to Tetris, Yellow/Crystal/Emerald/Platinum to mainline Pokemon entries, etc).  This also doesn't cover digital releases or e-reader, since we have no figures there.

  1. Wii Sports (Wii)  58.35
  2. Super Mario Bros. (NES / GB / GBA) 47.56
  3. Pokémon Red / Green / Blue / Yellow (GB) 46.01
  4. Tetris (GB / NES)  37.77
  5. Wii Fit / Plus (Wii) 31.55
  6. Pokémon Gold / Silver / Crystal (GB) 29.81
  7. Duck Hunt (NES)  28.31
  8. Wii Play (Wii)  26.62
  9. Super Mario World (SNES / GBA) 26.07
  10. Pokémon Diamond / Pearl / Platinum (DS) 24.07
  11. Nintendogs (DS) 23.43
  12. Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES / GBA) 22.48
  13. Pokémon Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald (GBA)  21.72 
  14. New Super Mario Bros. (DS) 21.01
  15. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) 20.84
  16. Super Mario 64 (N64 / DS) 20.04
  17. Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day (DS) 18.75
  18. Animal Crossing (N64 / GC / DS / Wii) 18.24
  19. Super Mario Land (GB) 18.14 
  20. Mario Kart DS (DS) 17.35
  21. Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES / GBA) 15.60
  22. Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day (DS) 14.60
  23. Donkey Kong Country (SNES / GB / GBA) 13.41
  24. Wii Sports Resort (Wii) 12.81
  25. Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (GB) 11.18

 

...this brings a mammoth 16 Nintendo games over 20m, 5 over 30m and 3 over 40m.

I'm not assuming you care either way, and frankly I don't care either.  I just wanted to point out that going multiplatform wouldn't automatically push down a ton of those Nintendo titles as expect and are implying. The chart would probably look about the same but some positions would move and some new titles would enter, but Nintendo would still utterly dominate.

 

Also, that's NOT how Pokemon is counted there (day-and-date sets are combined, but later enhanced releases aren't).  And I would say Animal Crossing is pretty much the same at it's core, though it's obviously been added to with each iterative release.  It's as much "the same game" as something like Gears 360 and Gears PC in that sense.

Singstar has entirely different content (songs) so it'd be different games.  Dissidia UT has identical content, only tweaked and added to, so it's the same game at it's core.

Where this gets tricky is more frequent iterative updates.  Street Fighter II for example, there's 5 distinct versions of it (SF2, SF2T/CE, SSF2, SSF2T, HSF2).  Or annual sports titles (which sometimes change dramatically, but sometimes barely change).
