Halo 3 and GTA IV still the BIGGEST franchises around?

This was in the recent game informer, of world wide sales of games. There are 2 catagories. I really think that pokemon will surpass mario.....when the new pokemon game comes out whenever it comes out (I think it's this month).

Top Franchises(rounded up to nearest Million)

1 - Mario: 193 Mil (Nintendo)

2 - Pokemon: 155 Mil (Nintendo)

3 - Final Fantasy: 70 Mil (Sony and Nintendo)

4 - Madden NFL: 56 Mil (Multi)

5 - GTA: 55 Mil (Multi)

6 - The Sims: 54 Mil (Multi; mainly PC, though)

7 - The Legend of Zelda: 49 Mil (Nintendo)

8 - Donkey Kong: 48 Mil (Nintendo)

9 - Sonic the Hedgehog: 44 (Mulit; though mainly on Nintendo, now)

10 - Gran Turismo: 44 (Sony)

11 - Lineage: 43 (PC)

12 - Dragon Quest: 40 (Nintendo)

13 - Crash Bandicoor: 34 (Sony)

14 - Resident Evil: 31 (Multi; mostly Sony)

15 - James Bond: 30 (multi)

16 - Tomb Raider: 30 (Multi; mostly Sony)

17 - Tekken:29 (Sony)

18 - Mega Man: 26 (Mutli; mostly Nintendo)

19 - Street Fighter: 25 (Multi; mostly Nintendo)

20 - Command & Conquer: 25 (PC)

 

This was in the recent EGM. Halo doesn't even compete with these.

yeah its way to new and I'm glad C&C is up there i loved Red Alert

He didn't own anything for one he made paper mario out to be AAA. It ain't AAA here sorry to say. The rest are overated kid games that only 10 year olds play. Million sellers don't make games great I can go find 100 of games that have sold and suck.rexoverbey

So unless a game gets triple A, it's trash? Sounds to me like you've activated damage control mode.

i dont think some people realize that these are all time sales how many mario games are there and how many halo games are thereGen007
