I think that franchise would be a better phrase for what he's looking for.
 
I'm kinda surprised by the lack of mention of Fallout as a top franchise.

My top, but not necessarily in order
The Legend of Zelda (I have a Triforce tattoo, I can't not mention it)
Fallout
The Elder Scrolls
Mass Effect (It's only 2 games so far, but I love what's been created)
Metal Gear
 
If it's the top 5 overall by popularity, I would guess:
  1. Mario
  2. Zelda
  3. Pokemon
  4. Halo
  5. Final Fantasy


If it's my favorite 5...err...6 would be:
  1. Diablo
  2. Call of Duty (IW games only, which are gone for good 🙁).
  3. Tekken
  4. Mario (including the Karts and SMRPG)
  5. Metroid (tied w/Zelda)
  6. Zelda (tied w/Metroid)
 
My favorite Console series:

Halo
Street Fighter
Mortal Kombat
NFL 2K Sports (fuck EA and the NFL for the exclusivity contract)
Mario
Project Gotham Racing (4 was a disaster though)
Gran Turismo
Grand Theft Auto
Killer Instinct

PC:

Quake
Half-Life
Warcraft (never played WoW and don't intend to)

Arcade:

Samurai Showdown
Crusin'
San Francisco Rush

All I could think of right now.

Metal Gear Solid


Monkey Island and Mass Effects are newcomers for me, as I've been only recently introduced to them. Metal Gear Solid, in the past, would've at the top of my list, but I absolutely hated the direction they took with MGS3. MGS4 was better, but it had an even more convoluted storyline than MGS2, it was dull and FULL of cutscenes, and it had the same overly complex controls of MGS3. MGS1 still ranks as one of my favorite games ever, but I stopped caring about the series.
 
Franchises and favorites...

Unreal (UT'99)
Mario (Super Mario Bros 3)
Wizardry (Wizardy 8)
Mass Effect (Mass Effect 2)
Zork (Return to Zork)
Uncharted (Uncharted 2)

I know that's six, rules are for people who follow rules.
 
For consoles:

Final Fantasy (6, 5, 4, and then 7)
Zelda
Mario
Sonic
Can't think of a fifth

Overall:

Final Fantasy
Fallout (1 and 2)
Doom
Zelda
SimCity
