Which game is owned the most?
« on: August 07, 2012, 05:02:59 pm »
I was curious.  Is there a way to see which game (or item) is in the most collections?  Does anyone know what would be the most popular game on VGCollect.com?
My guess would be Super Mario/Duck Hunt.

Matt ran a query almost a year ago asking this same thing. It'd be interesting to see if the order changed over the last year, especially with all the new people that have joined since then. Here are last year's results:

102 - Super Mario World   
91 - Legend of Zelda, The: A Link to the Past
90 - Super Mario Bros. 2
83 - Super Mario 64
83 - Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt (With Nintendo Seal of Quality)
81 - Legend of Zelda, The (Gold Cartridge - 3 Screw Cartridge)
78 - Donkey Kong Country
78 - Final Fantasy X
78 - Super Mario Bros. 3 (Bros. above Mario's Head)
74 - Nintendo Entertainment System [NA]

That's really hard to hard to know, if your talking about outside of vg. I mean OK cod mw3 was the best selling game but if you go to any game store they have like 50 copies. Sure they sold more but people were line back up to get there money back so that wouldn't count. If I were to guess I would hope its super Mario 3 no game should be without that one in the collection but who know might turn out to be battle toads for all I know lol

I think that they were only talking about within the VGcollect community.

On THAT note - I'd like to know VGcollect's most-owned game...for EACH system!

(Or would that just be too hard/too much work to figure out)?

There's 2 varients of SMB/DH on the list.  It's #1

Some of these are kind of blowing my mind.  There are more Collector's Edition Zeldas than MTPO.  Weird
