Top Selling Game Of All Time?

[[[tavis]]]

What is it, sorry if ya thought I was gonna give ya the info

[Gunpei]

It used to be Super Mario 64 for quite some time but i think GTA Vice City may have recently passed it.

[bobo_ess]

I heard it was Super Mario Bros.

[[[tavis]]]

what about Oot

[bobo_ess]

That used to be the most preordered game before gta vc. But then that was topped by wind waker.

[peasantlover]

it was never super mario 64... if you count just copies in households, super mario bros, since it was given away w/ the NES... but if you count actual copies sold, not given away, then its super mario 3 for NES>..

edit: OOT 7 + mill copies
super mario 3: something like 30 mil copies

[Prince]

I'm almost positive it was super mario 3, I think it was something like 18 million copies

[bobo_ess]

That game rocked.

[Blaksmoke]

According to the newest edition of the Guinness Book of Records, (which I just picked up yesterday) the best-selling videogame of all time is Super Mario Brothers, selling more than 42.23 million copies worldwide.

No, that's not the whole Mario series, that's one game. The original Mario Bros. 42.23 million. :eek:

[Hammer Bro]

Wow. Thats a lot.

[Gunpei]

...the best selling game is either SM64 or Vice City. SMB3 or the original DO NOT COUNT because those sales include it being packed in with the console.

[dncardman]

Super Mario Bros sold like freekin 50 mill.

Heres your problem. Super Mario Bros. 3 was never packaged with sales of the NES

...the best selling game is either SM64 or Vice City. SMB3 or the original DO NOT COUNT because those sales include it being packed in with the console.

vice city's not even in the top ten. get a clue :o and what console was SMB3 packed in, genius?

Why don't they count??? They're games.

[bobo_ess]

Well, guiness said it is. Then i guess it's official. BTW, vice City had the record for most preordered game before Wind waker robbed them of it.

[MagicJuggler]

The Sims is the top selling game ever. It used to be Myst.

[bobo_ess]

Which Sims?

[Blaksmoke]

The Sims is the highest-selling PC game ever.

I'm telling you it's Super Mario Brothers.

wheres viper when you need him. hes the only guy i know that has this deep of knowledge in this field. viper change your name to Game Guru

[speed stick]

^How in the hell did harry potter sell so dam many? WTF.

A lot of marios at the top. It tells that mario games are awesome.

[MagicJuggler]

Myst. 57 Million.
The Sims: Higher than that.

From a copy of Computer Gaming World, the issue of which I have forgotten the number.

[Gunpei]

There is no way in hell Myst sold 57 million. Take the 5 off of that number and you have the real sales.

[Blaksmoke]

Holy crap. No game in history has yet to sell 50 million, let alone 57 million!

[Gunpei]

I know. Myst wasnt that popular and i doubt a game that recent could sell more than Super Mario Bros. which was a pack in with the system.

[Koopa69]

Nintendo Power and Guiness say it was SMB3 and it was like 36 million copies or somethin, and no SMB1 dont count.

[Blaksmoke]

SMB is a videogame, and he asked for the best-selling videogame ever, and I gave it to him.
