Unless Hideo Kojima decides to off himself, I doubt we'll be seeing and end to the Metal Gear Solid series, despite the MGS2 was supposed to be the absolute final game.

As long as preteens running around masturbating to their products, Square could sell you shit in a jar and fans will eat it up with a smile. Final Fantasy (and possibly Kingdom Hearts) will live forever.

As long as there are still LSD-fueled artists out there, we'll be seeing Pokemon for decades to come.

And Nintendo will make sure that you will never even be able to cough without them shoving another Mario, Zelda, or Metroid down our throats.

And no matter what, there will always be room for WWIII shooters. Always.

The Final Fantasy or Tales series.
This. Both Final Fantasy and Tales have had so many games, and all of them sell like crazy.

Have to agree with this.
14 Main titles, and countless titles located off the beaten path.
And it has to be profitable, how else would it warrant sequel after sequel?
I thought it was obvious, it's where the kids get the latest hair styles.
I am not going to say that I agree with you for if I did I would suffer horrible burns to my face and pride. Lets just say I don't disagree with you. After all they have got 14+ titles if you count all the spin offs, and it is still "good", good here meaning that the fanbase can still take pride in it.

Define "strongest".

By most accounts, it has to be Mario.

It has the most amount of games and spinoffs of any series, it has sold cumulatively the most games in history, and it is the most well known videogame character in the planet.

And the guy keeps selling games in the millions.

There?s hardly any contest.

Mario and Pokemon are the top two selling franchises of all time, and they are both still going strong.
Definitely Final Fantasy, since to a lot of people it is still the milestone for all JRPG's, and if nothing else it deserves recognition for sheer longevity and number of units sold.

Why isn't this in the game discussion area and I'd say the "warriors" series by koei.

Final Fantasy, Halo, Metal Gear Solid are my top 3. Halo is there because they have 4 games, 5 in a couple months, top of the xbox live charts along with BOTH CoD4 and CoD:W@W. Oh yea, Halo has a few well done novels. Not to mention Halo is the most fun FPS imo. Metal Gear Solid has a very complicated story that's extremely interesting complimented with great gameplay. Final Fantasy doesn't need to be explained. :p

strongest video game series...I would have to say The Elder Scrolls (or at the very least, it is ONE of the stronger series). Bethesda has constantly delivered with TES over the many years. People can say all they want about comparing Morrowind and Oblivion (it's just nostalgia). I remember when people were still comparing Daggerfall and Morrowind and calling Morrowind a step backwards. Still the popularity, success, and usefulness of the game series has been quite noticeable.

Weakest series: Final Fantasy. I would have to say that the best of FF came in the 1st 3-4 games. After that, the game just became a re-hashed mess with updated graphics. Gameplay-wise, the series hasn't really gone too far. The most noticable change in recent years came in FFXI and XII...but even that wasn't exactly all too original. Most of it was already done in KH.

So in the history of video games there are many games that have been taken and given sequels and prequels but my question is which series is the strongest?

this question popped up during a discussion with my friends the other day and we had a loooooooonnng talk about it and the series we picked was:


POKEMON!

I was surprised we picked it but I couldn't think of a bad game they put out
Ah, excuse me. I'm sorry, but you need a little perspective here. You see, you're sort of trying to find the worst of that Pokemon lot, but you're missing the whole THEY ALL SUCK point, really. Waist-deep in garbage, how can you ever smell shit?

I, therefore, will tow the Atlus Software line and say Persona is the strongest series of video games. A new and different kind of RPG with a world and a system of its own. It's brilliant with a way-different perspective on things. Not a thousand Pokemon games could match even one of Persona.
Well, that's your opinion. You could have put it a bit more eloquently. I, for one, liked the Pokémon games. At least the first generations, after that the idea bucket ran low. But it was a great series.

Actually, I don't think I could've put it more eloquently at all. That'd require me to feel differently on the matter, to give the statement a positive note when I don't have one. Sorry, I chose honesty this time.
