List of best-selling video game franchises
Previously a part of the list of best-selling video games, it was split from the original article due size. I have transformed the original plain list into a table giving a brief description of every franchise and its original release date. Temporarily I have left the "plain text" version of the list there until the article finishes the peer review (we may copy it to the Simple Wikipedia later). These lists are quite used in the gaming forums (as is regarded one of the few sources for this kind of information, going as far as having Yahoo! Games and The Independent using it for their articles (even though they did not credit the usage).

I am looking for feedback about its current status, trying to get it to featured. All of the references are considered "reliable" in the gaming environment (from consumer sites like GameSpot and IGN, industrial sites like Gamasutra and GameDaily, and even mass media coverage like Forbes, The New York Times, BBC, etc), and all the external links are working (as last checked a few days ago). Please consider that this list may never be completed (it is currently missing obvious examples like Pac-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, etc), and some references are somewhat old. I am worried about the size and whether we should restrict the franchises to a larger number (10 million like the original version—which would limit the list to just 86 franchises instead of 119 right now), besides obvious improvements to get it to featured status (prose, cleaning, etc). Thanks in advance! -- ReyBrujo (talk) 21:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
