Software Totals, Best Selling Video Games, Game Sales, Million Sellers, Top Selling - VGChartz

btw ppl troll vgchartz as unreliable, well their liftime numbers are right on because they correct them with financial data and etc

for example the nes mario game is no more of an 'estimate' than the mk wii game

its an interesting link, go ahead and check the individual consoles or what have you - lots to play around with

VGChartz is unreliable.... - GameSpot Forums - System Wars

Sometimes I am using VGChartz to check the worldwide sales figures.

I know that sometimes their figures aren't correct but then they updated the sales figures once the figures from NPD is out.

do the blind call out the blind for their blindness?

what should imp-ress me about your sources?

but the fact is i already addressed that in my first post - these are OFFICIAL LTD sales numbers, no9t weekly estimates....

Most of the top sellers are there because they have been bundled with the console..
Most of nintendo's first party game's sell well anyways,but on the other hand the 3'rd party sells are not there for them compared to the other consoles.

Hopefully the WiiU changes that...

I very greatly doubt twewy sold better here than on Japan.

and ppl say wii owners dont buy games/?

Console Top Selling Game Combined total of top 10 games

Wii wii play 28.17 mil * 181.71 mil!!!

ps2 GTASA 19.11 mil 96.98 ,\mil

gc SSBM 7.85 mil 41.71 mil

xbox HALO2 8.43 mil 32.76 mil

dc sonic advent 2.02 mil 10.5 mil


* (wii sports omitted 78 mil!)

no wonder kinect and move came to pass, eh????

oh and i forgot to mention - no players choice in those wii numbers, only console that can say that!

I'm assuming this is your overly complicated way of telling me that I'm quoting unreliable sources to prove the unreliability of your sources. As far as I'm aware of none of my sources have ever been questioned on their reliability. Just VGChartz.
Who's trying to impress you? I'm just showing you different instances where the reliablilty of VGChartz has been questioned.
And yes, they might or might not have the historical numbers right but that doesn't prove their reliability. That's like saying all of Wikipedia is true just because they correctly state that the Declaration of Independence was ratified in 1776.

who says 3rd parties dont do well on nitnendo platfomrs? -

not sega, i know that

top 10 dc games of all time - 10.5 mil - 1.05 mil avg

top 10 sega games on wii - 22.85 mil 2.285 mil avg

top 10 sega games on ds - 18.27 mil 1.827 avg

sega best console ever has been the wii, followed by the ds - food for thought and perspective. this is why we have a lot of sega fans gracing these forums!

food for thought

34 of top 50 are nitnendo games

including the top 17!

this means as 3ds and wiiu games climb the charts, they are more likely to push non nintendo games off the list then nintendo ones

by system
