Mario is offically the best selling franchise EVER

This came as no real suprise..But hey i thought i would share this with you guys.
it has been for the last 27 years, nothing new...
Yea, it's been that way for a while now it's only competitor is another Nintendo franchise, pokemon.
Mario has been in the game, for so long.. but as of that.. GO FINAL FANTASY! xD
Woah.. Madden is doing great.
it has been for the last 27 years, nothing new...
QFT.
If there was something new, this place would be flooded with fanboys, anyway. 
I thought Mortal Kombat would be somewhere up there.
i can't believe FF beat out Zelda...then again there are a lot of Final Fantasy Games...
Naw, Final Fantasy is just better IMO ... and by the sale charts, many other people think so too, and LMX I put IMO, So don't scold me. xD

QFT? why dont you try it cause your logic doesnt work, if something new came out it would take years for it to rise to mario's level. look at pokemon, 10 years later and its still no where close.
QFT = Quoted For truth >.>
And Final Fantasy should be doing better than Pokemon, But that will never happen, lawl. Sim shouldn't even be up there.
theres been like 12 final fantasy games. u have to give props to the other games cause their keeping up.
fun fact: in super mario rpg (super nintendo) there is a hard optional boss u can play created by the final fantasy people, and so was the music.
Theres way more than 12 Final fantasy games.

It's quite close. D/P have yet to release in Europe & Australia, plus with PBR releasing here it's bound to tighten up. But eventually the Mario Sports games will start coming out and it will be further out again.

Of course The Sims deserves to be up there. It was a ground breaking game and many expansions are made and people still buy them.
I didnt think madden would be doing better than fifa ...Weird
Well Madden has ben the only really decent football game, plus EA has bought the NFL for their use only, so that's also a factor.

I meant at Mario being the best-selling...

And I don't fully understand your post. You're arguing with me on something I don't understand. First you say that it would take years to get to Mario's level, then you say Pokemon, after 10 years, is nowhere close. I was just saying it's not extraordinarily new news that Mario is best-selling...
Sorry if this caused confusion.

i thought QFT meant quit ****ing talking. sorry.
EDIT: was happened to the sensoring? why i am complaing? 
I agree with the first two but I think Zelda should be higher up on the list somewhere.
Smash Bros. could have been up there but the series is fairly with only two games out

You be 4given.

I agree with you. Zelda should have a higher place. Madden is higher than Zelda for crying out loud!
