I was listening to you guys talk about the npd. I have to chime in.
You guys are forgetting the fact that NPD doesn't track digital sales regarding Nintendo. They were dominating in the 90s and 2000s because digital download wasn't as big back then or non existent.
Digital download has grown as well as pc gaming causing the disparity to be bigger esp for Nintendo not providing the numbers to the NPD. The chart is not very accurate at all these days. It's lopsided towards publishers that provide full sales data. (Bethesda, Nintendo, Battle.net etc digital sales are not counted)
P.S. yes indeed Pokemon would have topped (or at least be in the top 3) the NPD several times including the recent ones Sun & Moon which were split in the charts and digital sales not included.
