Even if you exclude the Wii Sport sales everywhere outside Japan, it is in the list with 1.98m only in Japan.

Oh, yeah Manuelf is correct. I need to add 3.1M to the Wii softwares thanks!

 That's a nice one too actually. But I don't really like it as it is over 10 pages. How much they sold isn't all that obvious, and it takes a different approach than this one, as it includes multiplats, but not bundles.

It also uses different numbers than this one, as I'm fairly certain they do not go by VGC numbers.

Their article is also 3 months old now, and is clearly outdated. They take the last 12 months, instead of the full year, which is very different obviously.

They haven't put up any sources, and as they used the last 12 months, it is kind of hard to track what they said correctly.

As a result, I consider this article more reader friendly, more correct, and more up to date (combined with the other one). The other one is still worth a read, but only because it takes a different approach.

Nothing surprising here. Still, I'd be interested to see how long it takes Galaxy to catch Halo.
