https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Sega_Genesis_games
Where are games like Golden Axe, Shinobi or Streets of Rage, that were often bundled with the console? Where is Streets of Rage 2, that topped sales lists?
Sonic spinball, but not Sonic 3D?
Did really none of the Disney games reach the million except for Aladdin?
Where are games like Fifa?

When I was a kid I never heard of Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, or Shinobi.

They were considered some of the first great games for the system and they were included in bundles and compilations. If Altered Beast appears on that list because it was bundled with the console, those games should also appear.
Maybe they're lacking information from outside the US.

Hitler was popular too. Doesnt mean he was good

Western market sales charts are all unreliable, they involve a lot of guess work, don't take into account returns, etc

If check sources they're often just "estimations" made by "some guy"

The most popular is not always the best.. People buy what they buy hoping for a good game.. not everyone knew about alot of games until they encountered them much later
