To all those who are sad that SMB has been dethroned, I'd like to refer to something said time and again by the great hockey player Gordie Howe.
Any time one of his records has been broken there has been press wanting him to express regret or sorrow. He has always said (paraphrasing) "A player breaking my record doesn't take away from what I acheived. Nobody can take that away. And it would be far more sad if the game never progressed and my records stood forever, than for them to fall."
Wiisports passing SMB doesn't make SMB any less important.
But to those who want to dismiss WiiSports for whatever reason, take note of the huge impact SMB had on the industry and realise that WiiSports is likely going to have an even larger one; whether you think the sales "count" or not, 40 million people have copies of it in their home, and this number is going to grow substantially.
