And you all thought Nintendo were/are going under... They own half this list and the games mentioned alone clear a Billion units... Can't see Xbox/Microsoft in this list anywhere.

Well Wii sports and Super Mario were packaged in games and really shouldnt count.

jaymacx2965d ago (Edited 2965d ago )

Not really because most ppl who bought wii was for wii sports (hence why wii sold so many consoles) Also pack in games like mario are system sellers.

ZeekQuattro2965d ago

Lots of games get packaged with consoles. Shouldn't disqualify them. COD and GTA games are routinely put in console bundles. I don't see people saying their numbers don't count. lol Besides its a fair assessment to say the reason why most people even got an NES for example was to play SMB so its a no brainer to just buy it as a set. I got mine with Duckhunt and SMB together.

RosweeSon2965d ago

Yeah I started with that duck hunt Mario combo. Mine was second hand and unboxed tho but still loved much the same was only about 4 so just wanted the console.

Wii Sports was only included with the Wii in the west - rest of world had to purchase the game separately.

Nintentional2964d ago

Theyre also counting Wii Sports resort, that game wasnt a pack in title and sold over 30 million units.

stimm162963d ago

In both the case of Super Mario and Wii Sports, they weren't the only titles in the series. Its the success of the series overall that is most important.
