No Mario is HUUUGE in Japan. NSMB is more than enough to boost it by 30-40k.

nah mario is not that huge in japan, pokemon

Dragon Quest > Monster Hunter > Final Fantasy > Pokemon > some popular japanese games > Mario > Zelda.

in japan that is.

The top 10 best selling games in Japan, according to VGChartz, are:

01. Pokémon Red / Green / Blue

02. Pokémon Gold / Silver

03. Super Mario Bros.

04. Pokémon Diamond / Pearl

05. New Super Mario Bros.

06. Pokémon Ruby / Sapphire

07. Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day

08. Animal Crossing: Wild World

09. Tetris

10. Super Mario Land

You were saying?

Is that correct?  Animal Crossing has outsold every Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest game?  If that is true I will be really shocked.  Would mean DS is a software beast and Dragon Quest IX could possibly be the biggest ever Dragon Quest if the series is still as popular as it used to be.
