No Kid Icarus Uprising
And MK7 and SM3L at 8M, I knew it.
I think Uprising was at 800k IIRc.
Yes it does.
Bottom of the image says so.

Thing is NSMBU sales are actually pretty damn good. (EDIT: again, forgetting these are shipped)
Great for 3D Land though.

do'h!
Wish they were separate from the total but nice to see it included either way,
yeah, what happened with zelda?
People getting confused with DS and 3DS iterations of NSMB confirmed?
Lol nah it's a good game that's why!

Those Wii LTD numbers are just absurd
30+ million for 3 games and 80+ million for Wii Sports? Good lord.

Died with the Wii.
No Kid Icarus Uprising
This is only since April, KIU was released in March, so good part of its sales aren't included. It's possible it has already sold 1 million.

NSMB DS at 30 million jesus.

B/W2 did great for a "3rd" Version. Will it end up being the best one of those released? Yeah I know it's not really the same thing. I think it's also foolish to look at these numbers and think that Mario Kart's new popularity was only due to the bigger install bases on Wii and DS. The franchises definitely grew somewhat.

Gonna be interesting for Animal Crossing. Could set the 3DS on fire over here too
These are 2012 million sellers...

You're not alone. Millions or thousands is the base I work with on a regular basis.
compared to MKW's 34 million, MK7's 7.7 million look like a failure.
i still can't believe that game sold that high. i can understand the NSMB games being in the 30 million club or close since the old 2D Marios were really popular but Mario Kart was barely a 10 million beast until the DS and Wii came around.
if only they could get half of those users to buy MK8 on Wii U when it comes out...

The Japanese/Chinese counting system does it by tens of thousands. Many people here find millions of units to be unintuitive at times as well.

Ten thousand (man) is the largest base unit commonly used in Japan though. I imagine it actually can be more helpful to get a good idea of a smaller unit being the base
i never imagined a day where zelda becomes on the same level as the metroid franchise in terms of sales.thread title shoulda been more specific. It fooled me for a second
Not really, the tie ratios are about the same IIRC. It's not like MK7 is suddenly going to stop selling either.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet

I kind of think Kid Icarus has a bit of an image problem that probably hurts its sells.
"Kid Icarus", the name itself which sounds like a weird 80s cartoon, and the box-art featuring an angel, just doesn't seem like something that's attractive to modern games who aren't familiar with the NES game.

It's not? Other M didn't even break a million.
it's probably down with majora's mask. last numbers were over 3m, and it's probably still between 3m-4m.
worst-selling zelda is the minish cap (maybe less than 2m). worst-selling 3d zelda is majora's mask (3m).

When does Nintendo usually release those charts that show the top 20 best sellers for each region?

Japanese counting system doesn't have a unit for 1 million. They have one for 1000, and 10,000. A million is 100 ten thousands. ひゃくまん　百万
Zelda sells but they didn't include it because its not as impressive as the other huge numbers. The only reason Mario Party is up there is because it came out in 2012.
The best one is the worst selling? Nintendo fans have no taste confirmed.
MK7 is one year old, with 7.7 million. MKWii with one year had sold 17.4 million.
Handheld is a bit lower, which is not unexpected given past performance:
MKWii after 1 year: 17.4 / 52.6 = 33%
MK7 after 1 year: 7.7 / 29.8 = 26%
MKDS after 1.25 year: 7.0 / 40.3 = 17%

I have no idea how mario tennis sold so well. And it saddens me that Kid Icarus did not make that list
I know these are pretty "poor" numbers for a series the likes of Zelda but I'm sure they are publishers out there who'd love worst-selling 3m titles.
but the Metroid series is now on F-Zero level sales after other m...
does that mean zelda became metroid and metroid became f-zero now that f-zero is dead?

There was a massive ad campaign for it in the UK. I think it deserves the sales, it's my 2nd most played 3DS title.
