Top 5 Video Game Franchises and What Players Want of Them in the Future

4. The Sims-

4. The Sims-

You would think that people playing simulated versions of other people would be boring, right? Wrong! The Sims franchise has sold over 100 million copies and is still growing. There are a great number of expansions and more for these popular games and they are also available on various platforms, giving you even more opportunity to enjoy your favorite Sims experience. With each generation of Sims games, we see more realistic Sims and more abilities than ever before.

3. Final Fantasy-

The Final Fantasy series has sold over 85 million copies to date and has created a legacy for itself in the RPG genre. The game series was so popular, it became a staple in the industry and turned the RPG genre mainstream when there was only a small niche for it previously.

2. Pokemon-

Pokemon is more than just child's play and the need to "catch em all" has spread like wildfire. The popular series has netted more than 180 million in sales. They are popular with gamers of all ages and available on different platforms. While there are some serious hardcore Pokemon fans, there are also causal players or just gamers in general who want to give the popular series a try. Most everyone who plays games has at least tried a version of Pokemon.

1. Mario-

Where would gaming be without our beloved Mario? For many, Mario is the epitome of gaming itself. He first introduced many of us to games and he continues to reign at the top with more than 200 million copies of Mario games sold and counting! Mario sets the stage and shows that sometimes simplicity really does say more.

Now that we've reviewed the top 5 best video game franchises, let's take a look a moment to think about what we'd like to see from these franchises in the future. Here are some things developers need to know about what gamers want in the future of these franchises:

* Imagination is everything- imagination got you here and it will keep us here

* We're looking for a new spin on a beloved character or series

* Top franchise characters meet one another Mario enters Need for Speed or the Final Fantasy crew catch Pokemon?

* More customization and user control of characters- we love these franchises so much, we feel like they are a part of us. Now what more can you give us in terms of control of our characters or settings?

* Let's see Mario visit some more new places- how about Mario in the big city today or Mario in the future (a la Mario meets "The Jetsons")?

Remember that games are meant to be fun. While realistic games can be just as entertaining, when you take the fun out of it, it just isn't the same anymore. Speed, fantasy, action or even puzzle games should have one thing in common- the fun factor!
