nothing really shocking except maybe Carnival Funfair, Mario and Sonic has really done crazy amounts, IIRC it's at like 10 million WW when you combine the DS/Wii sales

Perhaps a friend got into soccer and she feels the need to get into what her friends are into, my sister has been that way for awhile.

she says she plays soccer at gym and really likes it

i might get it for her for the summer break, don't want to give her something that'll distract her from her studies now and by summer the price will probably drop

Mario is the #1 selling game series of all time, another thing to note Mario Kart Wii has sold 10+ million worldwide, Halo 3 is at about 8.5 or so...your mind was just blown


I have a feeling your going to pull a, that's because there's like 60 mario games all time
