Line 52:
** ''Pokémon'' is currently the second-best selling series in the world, with the Mario series leading by a mere 20 million games sold. After a ''ten year'' headstart. It remains to be seen if it will pass its older brother, it's too close to call at this point.
** ''Pokémon'''s most recent installment, ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'', came out only a few days before this entry (9/20/10), and it's already the fastest selling DS game in history.
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20110827211637/http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/06/23/media_create_sales/ again, this time] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Within two weeks, it had sold over 600,000 copies, or over 20% of the install base. It raised 3DS sales by over 50% the week it came out, despite not being released in America until the next week.
** ''[[Monster Hunter]] 3G'' (at least if you live in Japan).
** Those last three games were the three best selling games in Japan during 2011, despite only being out for less than two months. ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' sold over five million copies in just two months worldwide, outselling games like ''[[Gears of War]] 3'' and ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|Skyrim]]'' on the 360. ''[[Mario Kart]] 7'' sold 4.3 million in 5 weeks. Put together, the two Mario games represent a third of 3DS software sold in 2011. Combine those Mario games with ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''[[Nintendogs]] + cats'', you have over one half of all 3DS software sold through 2011.
