    That list only applies in America.


    They left out Dragon Quest which is massive in Japan, especially on handhelds.

    Monster Hunter is also a massive system seller in Japan.

    Even if this list did include the whole world, neither of those games would make the top ten. They both sell a ? load of copies, sure. But niether has been in a position to carry a system the way the aforementioned have in the past. Not saying they can't, they have just never been launched that way or had that kind of impact when compared to the others listed. The games listed literally carried a system on their backs.
