Would you two cut it out

MW2 is the fastest-selling game ever within a specific timeframe

NSMBWii may be the fastest-selling game ever within a different timeframe, but it remains to be seen.

The whole "fastest selling" term just bugs me. By what criteria is it measured? The most sales in a week? The total number of sales divided by the weeks it's been out? I'm pretty sure I heard that in a commercial for something (probably MW2) and it just drives me crazy. It's just so ambiguous.

I think it has to be set down according to a certain timeframe. S'why I phrased it that way.

Mario Kart Wii's sales are (I think) the fastest after 18 months. Wii Fit's would be the fastest in the same timeframe with aligned launches.
