considering the combination of fans and money generated must be Mario Pokemon The sims World of warcraft above 4 are certain something in the lines of Half life series or Halo or starcraft or COD series or GTA
lulz @ Halo. in all honesty, no one in Asia or people outside Europe and the US even bothered with the Xbox and Halo when it came out. if you mean most popular

It depends on what you mean by popularity. Today, 1 - 1.5 million gamers play Halo 3 on Xbox Live daily - that makes it much more popular than games like Street Fighter and Need for Speed. What game is more recognizable is another thing, so you see, it depends...

errr...last time i checked popular =/= games played by most gamers everyday. and that would mean WoW would be the most 'popular' franchise ever. popular is closer to recognizable/famous that any other thing. if you mean US, sure. but clearly, US isn't the only country in the world, unlike some (if not most) Americans would say.

Yeah, OK. But I think Counter-Strike has the most players, anyway.
Just because something is recognizable doesn't mean it is popular, and I doubt that Counter Strike is more recognizable than most of the games on that list.
How the heck did you not include Pokemon in that list; I mean c'mon,I thought that would be a no-brainer.:P
You're right in sayin' that Mario is the number one most popular video-game franchise; it's been a constant reminder of Nintendo's video-game prowess throughout the years, both thick and thin.
