It's between the first SMB and Wii Sports. I'd lean towards Wii Sports simply because it sold more Wii's than SMB sold NES's.

You do need to take into consideration the fact that gaming is much more mainstream now though. Wii Sports and Wii being a big phenomenon with people not traditiaonlly "Gamers", was a big part of those sales. The NES sold 3 or more times what Atari or any other competitor was selling in the 80s, and it did it at a time when gaming was not mainstream, and it was something considered "for kids or nerds who never grew up". Taken in that context, Super Mario Bros. got popular in a much more harsh environment/market.

Very good points. I guess my determinating factor was sales. I could agree with you though.
