Do you want to call Wii Sports the G.O.T.Y. now? According to the folks over at VGChartz, who aren’t always entirely accurate, Wii Sports has surpassed the original Super Mario Bros. to become the highest selling video game of all time.
- Wii Sports, Wii – 40.52
- Super Mario Bros, SNES – 40.24
- Pokemon Red / Green / Blue, GameBoy – 31.38
- Tetris, GameBoy – 30.26
- Duck Hunt, NES – 28.31
- Pokemon Gold / Silver, GameBoy – 23.11
- Nintendogs, DS – 21.37
- Super Mario World, SNES – 20.61
- Wii Play, Wii – 19.68
- Super Mario Land, GameBoy – 18.14
Now, I know that Wii Sports comes packed with the Wii in most territories, so it has a bit more an advantage than some. And yes, Super Mario Bros. was a pack-in as well. Then again, so was Duck Hunt, which didn’t sell nearly as much. I have a feeling these numbers are fairly accurate and we’ll be hearing Nintendo soon celebrating the fact that they’ve trumped themselves for the best selling game of all time.













Nintendo’s name is written all over Top 10 lol.
Agreed…I think the most interesting thing about that top ten is that Nintendo holds every spot. Seems like they have a stranglehold on the industry, or at least they have over the past 20 years.
