Six fiscal years of major Nintendo published hits for Wii in one chart - everything over 1m is an official shipment figure, everything under 1m is an estimate. The Mario Galaxy 1 estimates for the year to March 2011 / March 2010 are designed to mesh with the stated total given by Nintendo through March 2012 after the game jumped back up when sold at $20 for the year.

Mario Kart Wii has an outside shot at reaching 40m units  - pretty amazing for a game that didn't have tens of millions of bundles like Wii Sports. NSMB Wii is also pretty likely to reach well over 30m, with most of those units also non-bundled.

Around the Network

Such a decent thread, just needs a actual representative thread title (And I'm not seeing totals?)

Thanks for collecting the data though, nice to see Nintendo at least managed to sell well on their own system!



Nintendo really has evergreen titles... impressive! Can Nintendo repeat this success with Wii U?
Brawl is the one that impresses me the most. How Nintendo never bundled it with another game or controller is something i don`t understand.

99$/€ Wii + Brawl + extra Classic Pro controller + Mario Kart Wii/NSMB Wii would sell really, really well to kids and late adopters this Christmas.
