padd . . read Mal's post again.

Nintendos came with Mario meaning whether you liked or wanted the game or not, you got it and added to the sales figures even if you wanted the system for another game. Yes, plenty of people wanted Mario, but not all of them.

Super Mario Bros., Wii sports, Super Mario World, and Tetris were all bundled games. That means they didn't sell as well as they did by being a big hit, they sold because people bought the system. It's like saying Motorstorm is a big hit because every PS3 owner has it. Of course they do, it came with the PS3.

okay so then.. the list is pretty biased.

Well, the problem is you missed this list:

why is pokemon 1st place.. its still biased. Pokemon is 3 games not 1.

It's a paired game. Are you really trying to argue that red and blue are different games?

If you don't think red/blue qualifies, then just say Nintendogs. seriously.

well yeah they are different games
nah but wasnt there some difference regarding what you can and cant catch in either game.. who remebers exactly what it was.. but they are 2 different games. it's all a money scheme.. and it worked.

How does that disqualify them? padd you're fighting uphill and losing horribly. Pokemon was number 1, deal with it.

Oh sure, marketing counts when it's Mario, but they do it in pokemon and it's a scheme. OOOooo~oooo

Yeah, you can't catch some pokemon in red that you can catch in blue. It's made so you have to trade with people who have the other game. It's how most pokemon games are made. Treating red/blue as different games is like treating special/limited editions differently because it has a few extra features.

Thats all you say in your posts Cons. "you are loosing a uphill battle and loosing it" "stop embarassing yourself and deal with it" "your posts are making you look stupid and shutup" "your wrong and im right" "im right and your wrong" "the joker is better than everyone else so deal with it"
Pokemon was at number one? No Pokemon was not at number one POKEMONS is #1
Isn't Pokemon Red one game? While Pokemon Blue is another game? And isn't Pokemon Green another game? That is a total of THREE games. Not 1.. not 2.. 3 whole games. They all 3 share number 1 spot. Why? They're not the same game.

1)They have different colors, for 1 point.
2) 2nd of all one was only available in Japan. 3rd of all the 2 North American versions were absolutley not similiar in every way. That's why when i was in what.. 3rd grade? Every one wanted both games because they needed to catch something that was not in their respective game. Does that not qualify as an indiference?

3)The sales just boosted up for both games because people were introduced to one color and in turn raised to demand for the other one.. is that not as biased as buying a bundled game only because it comes with the system?

Not everyone who argues with you is wrong, deal with it.
