A graph of the best-selling Nintendo franchises

  1. I have a feeling that Donkey Kong is about to get uppies.

  2. Animal crossing got like over half it’s all time sales just from new horizons , it’s crazy

  3. I would have imagined Metroid being higher, Wii series blows me away though, that’s nuts.

  4. ItIsYeDragon

    I didn’t expect Mario to be double Pokémon’s.

  5. Bournerounderz

    I’m surprised Mario has Pokemon beat by that much.

  6. SoCalThrowAway7

    Star Fox would be higher if it had more games

  7. Keep in mind it’s ridiculously difficult to track online sales. So these numbers are most likely waaaaay off.

  8. BullfrogPristine

    So this is why they’re not doing another F-Zero game 😭

  9. I think this would be better visualized if it told us how many games were being counted under each franchise.

    Someone should divide these numbers by the amount of games in each series to get the average number of sales per release and compare those.

    “NintenDogs! Metroid’s coming for you nkkka!” (Booker T voice)

    That’s how dumb Nintendo is. Animal Crossing makes them a fortune and they have nothing ready for the Switch 2 launch.

    More Mario slop.

    I’m so irritated that Pikmin🍃hasn’t done way better.

    Also it’s crazy that they’ve given us so many Fire Emblem 🔥 games and yet being right next to Metroid, we haven’t gotten nearly as many games for our favorite blonde bounty hunter.

    Wow. I’ve never spent any money on any of these.

    Considering how influential the Metroid series is, it is genuinely criminal that it has sold this low.

    This graph has to be horribly outdated, or is just wrong. The entire pikmin series, across 4 games, only sold 10 million units? While nintendogs almost triples it?

  17. ShadowFlarer

    Oh, that’s why they don’t do that many Metroids huh?

    Or maybe is that low because they don’t do many Metroids lol, same for the other games.

    Kinda crazy how Xenoblade is recognized enough to be one of the like 10 franchises on Nintendo Today but still probably only just broke 10mil series sales (haven’t had sales update since like XB3)
