How many times would Pokémon be number 1 if we summed both versions? (like it should be done really).
Weird. I'm wondering why a Guitar Hero 4 didn't come out. I get they kept on releasing new versions focused on a specific band but for GH3 to outsell the previous versions it seems like the at least worth the attempt for a sequel that offered a variety of different musical artists instead of more of these focused spinoffs.
The late Wii port of RB1 did really, really well. I think FyreWulff mentioned that it was the single best selling SKU of any game in the series.
Those Call of Duties are okay. Hardly great or deservedSo basically since 2001 EA, Activision and rockstar have been passing the baton.
TBF its well deserved. There all great games.
EDIT: US only, id like to see how it changes between EU and Asia. Im sure EU would not have that nintendo domination from 96-2000
We need a new Pokemon Stadium with all 809 Pokemon.
I'm surprised 2007 wasn't Halo 3.
BTW.
To give a quick comparison.
SM64 - 1996 sales = 1.6 million
Madden NFL 07 - 2006 sales = >5 million
Call of Duty BO3 - 2015 sales = 9.5 million
Millions? How do you know? Just because I bought the games doesn't mean I think they are all great or deserve to be the best selling lolWell Millions of people disagree, and there great games. So i dunno what to tell you man.
People can be expected to pay $150+ for new bundles for only so long. RB was smart to play a longer game with being all in on DLC tracks from day 1 which helped keep it afloat longer. For reasons I'll never understand, Activision never tried that hard with GH's DLC and didn't even bother renewing licenses, so now it's all impossible to get these days.
ZhugeEX MatPiscatella would 2007 and 2008 have a different #1 if it were unit based and not dollar based? Curious to see if Halo 3 would have topped.
Yep, the western gaming industry is terrible because gaming became mainstream and a bunch of franchises got incredibly popular.Damn, the list from 2001 on is a brutal condemnation of the western gaming industry.
Could you give us an idea of the average selling price?BTW.

Guitar Hero would still be higher than Halo 3 in 2007 by units. Game was crazy y'all.
Wii Play would be number 1 by units in 2008, only just beating out GTA IV.

Interesting, thanks for the reply! Wii Play is kinda unfair because of the included controller IMO, but still amazing to see it top.Guitar Hero would still be higher than Halo 3 in 2007 by units. Game was crazy y'all.

Would have been if it was multiplatform.
They were. Even me, as someone who fell off the music game wagon after the peak of IIDX/DDR, I got really into Rock Band. It actually taught me well enough to graduate to a real drum kit. They put a lot of care/effort into The Beatles version.
Well fortnite and PubG finally disrupted that.There must just be a huge group of people out there happy to shoot stuff in the same way every year.

These kind of comments are cringeworthy.
Any chance you have liftetime sales for CoD? Been years since we had good numbers!Yes. Rock Band cost a lot more than a $60 game.
That's the only one with a big difference though.
N64 was a beast.
Only.. it wasn't. Even the XBO has outsold the N64.
Which makes the Nintendo domination of those first few years particularly impressive.
Interesting how the PS1 didn't have the best selling game of the year in any of the years it was out despite being the best selling console.
