I'd say Pokemon. All age groups were hooked at some point or another, at least for the first 150. when the pokemon count broke 4 digits, it just got out of hand.

This is WoW vs. Pokémon, anyway.

WoW is thousand times bigger than Mario.

Come back when any Mario game has 12 million ACTIVE players, and when the players have to play a fee, OK? Fine. Bye.

super mario bros was bundled like wii sports so you need to take this into consideration. plus no one knows the total sales of WoW, should be 25m+ . however, i do agree that mario is the biggest name in gaming by far.

As of current, Pokemon.

But Mario without a doubt has the biggest legacy.

WoW, I think, is def. more known in Europa and USA then in Asia. Between WoW and Mario...hmm. Hard...cuz even my grandparents know who Mario is.

Bundled or not, it still counts towards the number of people exposed to Mario and his games.

But out of WoW and Pokemon...I'd definitely say Pokemon.
It's the second best selling game franchise of all time (Wikipedia), and any casual who has touched a Nintendo console (or watched tv in the mornings in the 90's, or have had friends who were kids in the 90s) would have heard of it...World of Warcraft simply isn't as popular or well-known.

Doesnt matter if its a card game or not, it outsold Wii Sports some billion times on PC, and its the most popular application for Windows. lol some M$ workers have even got fired when they were found playing Soltiairewhen they where supposed to work.

anyway, my point is, people just play Wii Sports once then they leave it on the shuffle lol. WoW though many millions actively play and its only getting higher. WoW is definitely bigger than, Wii Sports has only sold more (or has it) we dont know total sales of WoW, could be in the 30 million +

TheNewspaper

whether this thread is about sales, name, whatever mario wins.

4. Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES – 18 million) 5. New Super Mario Bros. (DS – 17.63 million)[65] 11. Super Mario Land (Game Boy – 14 million)[40] 12. Mario Kart DS (DS – 13.79 million)[65] 13. Mario Kart Wii (Wii – 13.67 million)[65] 18. Super Mario 64 (N64 – 11 million)[40]

This is the list of top 20 selling console games of all time, this isn't even a 1/10th of mario games released, i don't think any of these where bundled. Ask anybody anywhere who mario is they will know. majority of developed countries may know world of warcraft, but mario is known by everyone. He's even had tv shows and movies.

wow is the biggest game you can subscribe to, but it's still no mario.
