A best seller?

According to reception section, Bubsy II sold a million copies. Does that make the game a best seller? 98.119.155.81 (talk) 05:28, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Game title

Because the number of the game's title is a Roman numeral, perhaps the article page should be Bubsy II rather than Bubsy 2. 172.56.16.104 (talk) 14:46, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia articles are typically titled according to their WP:COMMONNAME. A common way of doing this is a search engine test. For example:

Bubsy 2 - 540,000 hits
Bubsy II - 115,000 hits.

Considering the "2" version is used about 5 times as often, it would seem Bubsy 2 is the common name, and that should be the article name. For what its worth, if you do a search for Bubsy II, it redirects to the article, so it doesn't really matter that much - either spelling will get searchers to the article.

"Mortal Kombat 2" also has more hits than "Mortal Kombat II". However, the article uses "Mortal Kombat II". The reason for the difference when it comes to "hits" is because people are more familiar with Arabic numerals than Roman numerals. But that does not mean we should ignore the way a certain media is presented. 24.120.53.65 (talk) 02:07, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Or...as I said, it makes no difference, because both searches take you exactly to this page, and have the exact same meaning. Sergecross73 msg me 03:08, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
