I like Madden. Though I'm surprised FIFA isn't there. The love of football here in Europe and around the world must be a license to print money surely? That's a surprisingly big leap between Final Fantasy and Pokemon too.

 

Also: Bond? I mean, Goldeneye was good and everyone loves the films, but they're generally not a series worthy of 30mil sales surely?

Nintendo kind of dominate that chart. I reckon TP sales could put Zelda ahead of DK.

Shocked by the lack of FIFA and Metal Gear. Surprised Zelda didn't end up higher. I was also sad to see GTA so high, as I think very little of those games.

Excuse me. Where exactly is Chrono...?

 

Infidels.

 

It might have been there if they had: a. carried on with the series b. walked away from Sony and stop breastfeeding them Final Fantasy c. given fans what they want d. shouted at Nintendo and made them put it on the Virtual Console.

Are you sure that's right? Because I don't see Tetris.

 

Funny that as Tetris doesn't feature in Wikipedia's top 20 selling games of all time either!

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best_selling_computer_and_video_games#Top_20_of_Console_Games_of_All_time

 

but that's because it's a bundled game! And hence it doesn't count. These are the best selling games that weren't bundled. When you take bundled games into account the best selling game of all time is Super Mario Bros, wtih over 40 million units sold, then Tetris with 30 million. Wii Sports is also doing well with 2.35 million already!

Now correct me if i'm wrong but weren't there only two lineage games? If so then 43mil is an incredible amount, especially since the Koreans are like the only people who buy it.

It probably would've done a little better if it was released over here.

The whole metroid series has sold around 13 million and is further down on the full list. See the link above on Wiki and scroll down.
