In in sales it would be the simulation SIM prefix created by Will Wright or Mario.

In terms of great games, I would have to go with Civilization.

 

In sales Mario is firmly on top with poke'mon second, I know that for sure, not sure about SIM ____, I beleive it's lower (around 5th or 6th).

 

Well in terms of main series, it goes Mario, Pokemon followed by The Sims.  Looking at the rough estimates here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_game_franchises it looks like I underestimated the sales of Pokemon and guessed to high for Sim City, Sim Life, Sim Earth, Sim Ant, etc.  I would guess that Sim franchise would be very close to the Pokemon games, but I don't think anyone has all the data to actually answer that question.
