I remember playing Super Mario as a kid 25 years ago. Very nostalgic. Have not played Pokemon though.

1. Mario
2. Gran Turismo
3. Pokemon
4. GTA
5. COD
6. Zelda
7. Donkey Kong
8. Sonic
9. Final Fantasy
10. Need 4 Speed
11. Star Wars
12. Mario Kart
13. Sims
14. Lego
15. FIFA

It seems the key to FIFA’s success is pumping out a barely updated sequal every 6-12 months!!

It lists 18 installments for Halo, even though there are only 7 games. If the data has just been lifted from the site this way, I’m not really sure we can learn anything from this chart.

Wow had at it’s peak what? 10 million subscribers? The base game was $20-60 depending on date of release and there are like 4-6 expansions now(? not going to look it up but I can think of at least 4) and each of those were $20-40/per. Plus monthly subscriptions. Same for EverCrack. So would that just count as “1″ game? Back at it’s peek the game was pulling $250 mil in annual revenue. SO if that is the case MMORPGs probably crush every single game in this category.
