But Mario is the king. His games are selling consistently since over 25 years now. Wii _____ won't achieve the same thing and Shigeru Miyamoto may be the father of Mario, but people recognize Mario much more.

It's only logical that Mario is the king of video games. Nothing else has a better combination of quality, sales, longetivity (spelled incorrectly, probably) and popularity that even extends beyond people who play video games.

The thread is about sales though.

And Shiggy/"Wii" has had more sales this gen than Mario!

No this thread is about how Mario is the ONLY video game character who appeals to a huge audience of any age, sex, and race.  To include that some of his main games receive outstanding recognition and top the best video games of all time lists. Mario appealing to almost anyone+quality games= superb sales. Who else will come to mind when someone talks about video games? I'm sure it's not Final Fantasy. Plus I was referring to a game character, Mario's creator is not a video game character nor is the "Wii series".

@ Red... Prove it. I could show you Pikachu... Or the entire Pokemon roster and say the same thing.

@ Blue... Pacman. "Tetris". Pong. Solitaire. "Mii".

And just to make it known again... Shiggy > Mario.

@Rol. I can multitask. Argue against mario and play FFXIII at the same time!
