You may notice that all non-Sony/Nintendo games are excluded.

Except for "Street Fighter 2 Plus" (? Championship ?) for GEN. Some things I didn't expect on that list for sure. I wonder where he got that info. Weird to think that Ocarina outsold the first Zelda. This was also on that site which is a breakdown of series : http://everythingandnothing.org.uk/vg/series.php

That list seems incredibly incomplete. There's no way that list accomodates every game that's sold over 1 million units.
For example, almost every Madden game should be on that list. There's no Sonic the Hedgehog. There's no Crash Bandicoot. There's no Tony Hawk.
You can't tell me that Kirby's Pinball Land or Popeye sold more copies than Sonic the Hedgehog.
So it's only from NES onwards,
VCS had many million sellers, Frogger, Pac-Man, Pitfall (4 million) to name a few

there arent any industry standard sales numbers for video games like there are for DVDs and Music.

Many of you may have misssed the disclaimer at the bottom that reads:
Note this list is still work in progress. It currently lists all Nintendo, Square, Enix and Capcom games (data for all of which are publically available) and select games from other Publishers. Keep checking back as more games are added.
So, it has no data for any games published by Sega, Atari, etc. and thus those games aren't on there.

Yes, yes I did miss that.
It should've been put at the top though.
