I only own [s]8[/s] 9 of them. (Pokemon Red, Mario 3, Pearl, Mario Land, Sapphire, GTA, Mario 64, Animal Crossing + Mario 2). Although I want to own a Wii fit, and I'll buy the Gold/Silver remake when it comes out.

Edited:

Fine. Wii Play is gone. Mario 2 is the next highest selling, thus it made the list now. Adjust your lists accordingly.

in b4 "lol N..."

...wrong forum.

[spoiler]14, though I'd say Wii Play is cheating since it was bundled with a second controller.[/spoiler]

Well, it's already excluding Wii Sports, Marios Bros, Tetris and Mario World which were bundled with their respective consoles...

Considering that most people who bought a controller were more-or-less forced to buy WiiPlay to get an additional one when it first came out ... I dunno if I'd really count it. I wonder how many people really bought WiiPlay based on it's own merits.

Okay, okay. It's off the list.

Haha, didn't mean for you to take it off the list. Was just honestly wondering on it since it felt like it's an inflated number. That's all.

[spoiler]14 still >>[/spoiler]

I own tennnnnnnn

though I have played most of those

Oh, I agree, it's an inflated number. We received a ton of people selling back the Wii Play game after taking the remote.

which games are you missing, Scy? Maybe Grand Turismo? Unless you min/max play that, in which case I bet you're crazy at it. My old roommate's boyfriend had that game and he'd always do these long races in which the car drove itself and he just like.. did maintenance or something. I was a little surprise that it made the list to be honest o__o;;

None. Unless Pokemon Platina is included in the Diamond/Pearl entry, then one. But I haven't played it yet (it's the Japanese version, waiting for me to get back to studying Japanese).

kimiko, buy some fukken games

I have lots of games (40 DS, 8 GBA, 2 PSP). Just not the super popular stuff.
Then again, many of the games on that list are older ones. I've only had my DS for about 18 months.

Pokemon Platinum and other third wheel games from a generation are counted separately and don't sell enough to appear on that list (usually sell 6-8 million copies, that should give you an idea of what it takes to get up there). Anyway, I own or have played...eight of those games.

Anyone else notice that 17/20 of the top 20 best selling games were for Nintendo consoles? And I'm pretty sure the bundled games that outpace the ones on that list are all on Nintendo consoles as well. Super Mario Bros and Wii Sports are up there at over 40 million copies. Duck Hunt has somewhere in the vicinity of 30 million I believe, as does Tetris. R/B/, for comparison, are in the low 20 mil range. New Super Mario Bros and Pokemon D/P are in the 16mil+ range. Cash cow franchises are GO!

...5/8 of the games I've owned/played from that list were Pokemon games. Thats not including the fact that I tend to buy at least one copy of every mainstream pokemon game =/

There was a reason for my first post like that~ The chart is dominated by Nintendo. Figures, though, noone can really doubt the popularity of most of the games on the list.

[spoiler]Quality, however, is a different issue entirely~[/spoiler]

Not surprised to see Gran Turismo up there. Actually, I'm surprised to NOT see more Gran Turismo up there >> Quite frankly, it has always (somehow) been a system seller. Quite ridiculous, really. I don't get it to be honest.

The titles I'm missing are both Gran Turismo's, WiiFit, Mario Kart: Wii, Nintendogs, and Animal Crossing. I don't have a Wii but I still picked up an extra Wiimote back when WiiPlay came out (hence my little point that WiiPlay numbers are inflated heh). WiiPlay is, if I recall, around 23M sold, if that gives any indication for what #1 on this list looks like (#20 was right under 11M if memory serves me).

I have three. Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario 64, and Animal Crossing: Wild World.

............ I own 3.
