Well, Super Mario Galaxy is coming out - so more millions are going to Mario. You now have Pokemon Pearl and Diamond, so more millions are going to Pokemon. More Zeldas are to come so that'll be millions, and MP3 is coming out too! I don't know what happened to Donkey Kong?

Gonzo said:

You guys should make this a poll. Which series do you favor the most? As for me, I don't know what I'll be picking. This is kind of hard, these are big series and all of them are good.

fish play wii said:

Hang on, there have been more mario games.

Wii and KH said:

Mario and Pokemon are WAY higher than Final Fantasy. But FF>Pokemon, FF=Mario, Zelda, can't say for sure.

B Darius said:

Wait a minute! Donkey Kong IS part of the Mario series.

Master Foot said:

I will stand by Metroid any day but Pokemon is undoubtedly Nintendo's biggest beast.

Dox said:

Wii and KH, where does final fantasy come in? It's not even close to the games on the list.

Killer Ape said:

No donkey kong isn't a part of mario. It's mostly yoshi who is part of mario.

WII PWNES said:

I am siding with master foot.

wii-mote dude said:

You know, it doesn't matter how many games donkey kong has sold, metroid will always be better.

Koen van Beeck said:

Pokemon outsells Zelda? Wow. I didn't think people still cared about Pokemon.

Captain Jamesman said:

Um, hello? Of course Mario is the most popular Nintendo Franchise, everyone should know that by now. He's Nintendo's most well known mascot character. B Darius, DK isn't entirely part of the Mario Series. Remember Donkey Kong Country? I'm quite surprised that Pokemon is more popular then Zelda. I thought the Zelda series would get 2nd Place. Mario will continue being the greatest video game character of all time until the world ends. Count on it.

Why is Donkey Kong better than Metroid?

BonbonJoe said:

I know some people, like myself, who are obsessed with the Zelda series. 52 million? Eh, Good job.

Fire Emblem Fan 14 said:

I heard that they are adding a Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess 2. I don't know and there is a rumor of Luigi's Mansion 2.

WIIPING FOR WII said:

Correction, donkey kong was part of the mario series other than the current mario games with him as a playable character, but he has separated himself from just the mario franchise and created his own.

Unknown said:

I thought Metroid would be more popular than Donkey Kong. But then again, he is the reason why Mario is so popular.

Yoshi-1up said:

Probably Mario because EVERYONE can enjoy it.

wiimaster said:

Metroid Prime I'll say is far better then Mario.

super silver7 said:

The only reason pokemon's in 2nd is it had a late start.

Scooby Jew said:

I wouldn't really expect anything else, seeing as how Mario is Nintendo's "mascot" and Pokemon Diamond/Pearl was really, really anticipated by a lot of people. The only thing that surprises me is how far behind the Zelda series is. Link's like Nintendo's backup mascot.

Wii Freak said:

If Donkey Kong was with mario they would have a lot.

Mart said:

Of course Mario is first. How many games are there in the Mario series? Is wario part of the mario series?

MrDziekuje said:

Donkey Kong and Mario got their start together and have shared the TV screen frequently since, but Donkey Kong is considered its own license (DK Country, DK64, DK racing games, etc).

Wiipaw said:

What? Metroid at no 5? This is bull!

DragonFoxCoon said:

First off, Final Fantasy isn't a Nintendo franchise. Next, people choose Mario because he's the most recognizeable icon in the gaming world, right next to PacMan. Show Link to a non-gamer and you'd get: "Who's that?".

Hey said:

Well, you might also say that Mario is (was) part of the Donkey Kong series.

Crimson Hawk said:

Well, it does kinda make sense that Mario is higher than everything else. Hasn't Mario been "seen" longer than the other Nintendo franchises?

Wii Freak said:

These are video game characters that need to die: Pac-man, mega man, rayman, tony hawk, and crash bandicoot.

TruBlu said:

No Wii Freak. Do not diss the Hawk. The rest are fine.

Scott said:

Donkey Kong was part of the Mario series at one point, but they've grown into separate franchises over the years.

Amin Parker said:

Sooner or later. Pokemon WILL overtake the mario series sales. I hope I'm alive to see that day.

Linay said:

I'm pretty sure Pokemon is going to be the Mario franchise's biggest threat, seeing how Pokemon is a lot younger than Mario. I'd like to add that both the Mario franchise and the Pokemon franchise are over 200,000,000 (Two hundred million) copies sold per unit.
