Notes on methodology: Availability and accuracy of sales data, especially for older and more obscure titles, is inconsistent, and thus some elements are speculative in nature. Where data is not available, sales are estimated via: 1) Popularity of the console(s) in the year 2) Lasting cultural impact/legacy 3) Contemporary news and magazine coverage 4) Popularity of the title's genre in that year Sales figures represent only sales within the fiscal 1993 year, so for example if a game released near the end of the year, sales usually carry over mostly into the following year. Copies sold are representative of global sales. Some games that launched in only one region in the year, with subsequent regions released in later years, will be adjusted to include only launch region numbers. Later re-releases, remakes, and ports (e.g. virtual console) are usually excluded.
