Recently Added Financial Section

[edit]

While well meaning, this entire section is a mess of original research, conjecture, and ill-defined criteria, and as such has no place in this article. First, you cannot take a list price, multiply it by units sold and get a gross revenue figure. Not every copy of something sells for the same price. Second, you can't take random known sales figures and create a best-selling games list because you can't know how all the games you have no sales for did. There is no comprehensive retail tracking in the video game industry to provide this information. Finally, its clear from the sales figure for Hitchhiker's Guide that this list is trying to limit itself only to sales that occurred in the 1985 calendar year, but then it gives a lifetime sales figure for Portopia and a figure for Super Mario Brothers that was reported in early 1986. There is simply not enough info to do something like a highest-grossing films of the year or best-selling albums of the year total because this info simply does not exist. Trying to piece together this info will only lead to contradiction, confusion, and misunderstanding. Indrian (talk) 08:45, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
