... And there it is. Mario Kart Wii just caught up to Halo 3.

Halo 3 might be the game to hold the throne for the 2nd longest through the entire gen though. MKWii will only hold it for 2-5 weeks actually, unless Wii Fit runs out of stock in christmas, and MK catches up again.

MKWii sold more in week 25 in Others than it sold in any other week, save for the first 4 weeks.

 

Considering that WiiFit seems to be selling every unit they can make, I think its a given there won't be enough for Christmas. Wiifit will probably take the lead, then lose it, then regain it for good in early 2009.

 

It depends how far ahead Wii Fit can get before it's supply constrained as well. It sold 300,000 units this week. That's unheard of for September when the game is 44 weeks old. By the end of October I think it will be about 300-400k ahead, providing sales between Wii Fit and MK stay about the same. By the end of December if it falls behind, they'll both be well over 10 million anyways. But, if Nintendo can manage to keep supply continuous for Wii Fit across the globe it will pull away like a bat out of hell.
