Updated first post with the following:
6/20 edit:
Here's the current totals for each game.
New Super Mario Bros. 14.75M
Mario Kart DS 10.99M
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games 6.82M total; 4.60M Wii, 2.22M DS
Super Mario Galaxy 6.69M
Super Mario 64 DS 6.01M
Mario Kart Wii 5.69M
Mario Party 8 5.29M
Mario Party DS 4.05M
Super Paper Mario 2.36M
Mario Hoops 3 on 3 1.77M
Mario Strikers Charged 1.68M
Mario and Luigi 2: Partners in Time 1.54M
Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis 1.51M
Total: 69.15M
7 games above 5 million; all 13 games above 1.5M.
Pending what new Mario games are shown at E3, I'd put the over/under for generation to date Mario sales through the end of December at 85 million.
I figure 2-3M more for M&S, 3-4M more for MK Wii, 1M+ more for SMG, MKDS and NSMB each, 1M+ for Mario Sluggers, 1M+ more for the rest of the back catalog, and at least 1, maybe 2 more Mario releases for later in the year.

"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
