Impressive Infographic Shows the 10 Best-Selling Games on Each Major Nintendo System
An impressive infographic lists the 10 best-selling games on every major Nintendo system since the NES. Nintendo revolutionized the gaming industry with the Nintendo Entertainment System, establishing landmark franchises that still receive blockbuster new entries to this day.
