were broken down into hardware and software. Why not the video games section too? Not very interesting unless we see the numbers to back the results up.

WilliamRLBaker6729d ago

because amazon has any reason to lie?

Simply put the most purchased system was the Wii, the most positively reviewed was the wii, the most wished for was the Wii and the most gifted was mario galaxy.

You know Amazon is NOT a big seller of PCs and laptops. All the PCs and laptops and Macs cost at least 150 more than anywhere else, thats because Amazon charges sellers higher premiums on laptops and PCs..

mighty_douche6729d ago

whaaa? are you referring to your sex life or?

PS3 Limps on and on6729d ago (Edited 6729d ago )

Nice list.

I'm glad I previously added "PS3 Limps on and on" to my ignored list. I'm about 90% positive that his comment was something along the lines of "wait beyond."

If I was correct, please agree with me. :-)

SSCOOLCHEA6729d ago (Edited 6729d ago )

Besides getting laid , my ps3 has been nothing but amazing . maybe I dont play the same games as you fools do or watch the same movies but the ps3 has been getting alot of play in my house. I love the pS3 and thats all i have to say... warhawk anyone......?? or NBA 08

PS. FOR THE PEEPS WHO KEEPS MENTIONING WAIT BEYOND. I DONT MIND BUDDY THERE ARE LOTS OF GAMES OUT THERE NOW THAT I CAN PICK UP AND PLAY.

just finish uncharted , heavenly sword just started on ratchet , but there is warhawk , nba 08 , madden , bowling and the show that i switch back and forth . a chinese man told me once patience is good...

digger186729d ago

Yeah, I'm getting tired of guys saying no games and wait beyond for the PS3. I remember when I first got my 360 on launch and it was nearly a full year before any good games were for it. The PS3 has more good games within it's first year than the 360 did, plus it's still got a few months before it's a year old worldwide.

Super Mario Odyssey Turns Seven - Ranking the 3D Mario Games

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With the Switch getting on in years and the prospect of a new Nintendo console growing closer, now seems like an excellent time to take a look back at one of its mascot’s two big evolutionary lines, particularly since we now find ourselves in the longest wait ever between 3D Mario games. Today marks the seven year anniversary for the release of Super Mario Odyssey, and with no full new entry in sight, it comfortably beats the roughly six year wait between Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, which should also be good news to anybody who broke a mirror that day.

3D Mario has delighted fans since 1996, maintaining an astonishing level of quality and bringing innovations not just to the 3D platformer genre, but gaming as a whole. Needless to say, it’s a hard task to rank a series where every entry is beloved, but I shall nevertheless undertake this risky venture with my head held high. Wish me luck."

One of the worst marios.. i hated the fact it was only about finding the moons and very repetitive with the same bosses. There is no exploration in this one.
Galaxy 2 is still unmatched

TiredGamer580d ago

I played, completed, and enjoyed Mario Odyssey, but I tend to agree that I don't think it's the best 3D Mario. There was sense of sameness that prevailed after the first couple of worlds... not in the levels, environments, or aesthetics, but in the routine of each world. It just felt like each new environment was just the beginning of another checklist of moons to acquire, and the sheer number of them took away the sense of accomplishment I got from the stars in Mario 64 and the like. I can't exactly put my finger on why that is. Galaxy gets my nod as the best one.

Cacabunga579d ago

I enjoyed it too but i won’t even place it in my top10 mario games.. as you said you are just looking for stars and that irritating music everytime you find one.
Also the bosses are pretty much the same from begging to end. I would have have like some koopalings instead of these dumb useless rabbits

Chocoburger580d ago

I played a little of this game and freakin' LOVED it! But I forced myself to stop because I hadn't played Galaxy 2, which I've been playing every day for the past week. Cripes, Galaxy 2 is way better than I expected it to be! Even though I dislike the Wiimote and nunchuck controls, and it annoyed me a lot with Galaxy 1, part 2 just feels better and slightly less gimmicky when it comes to the controls.

Profchaos580d ago

Sunshine at number 7 no way. I get it's not perfect but it deserves better to date there has not been another 3d Mario that's managed to capture that same movement it's the most acrobatic feeling Mario to date.

It's by and large better than 3d land/world and I'd argue that galaxy 2 didn't offer any trie innovation it was essentially a DLC pack to 1

Personally it's
1) Mario 64
2) Mario Sunshine
3) Mario galaxy
4) Mario Odyssey
5) galaxy 2
6) Bowser fury
7) 3d land/ world.

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
