This may warrant a relook at sales figures:
http://kotaku.com/5030821/forget-wii-fit-its-mario-kart-thats-buttering-nintendos-bread
WiiFit is listed as 3.42M while VGChartz has it at 5.93
MKWii is listed at 6.42M while VGChartz has it at 6.53
Listed from the article is supposed to be shipped through June 30.
VGChartz is sold through sometime in July.
The MKWii numbers look pretty close, given the demand and sell-through (you can hardly find one in the US right now).
However, there is a great decrepancy in the WiiFit numbers. Without knowing source or other estimates, I am not sure why that is.

Actual that 3.42m and 6.42m are for the first quarter (Apr-June) alone.
The 5.93m and 6.53m are LTD numbers.
Wii Fit had many sales prior to April 2008 since it launched in Japan around December 2007.

Are you sure? The article says
"while Wii Fit's been a media darling, and has captured Nintendo a ton of good press with morning television crowd, it's sold "only" 3.42 million units worldwide since launch."
