Now of course we have to drop some things out such as bundled games and multi game packs such as Pokemon. Give or take all of that, Wii Play at 17.78 million has surpassed Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as the best selling game on the market ever. Did it in much shorter time as well as it is also the fast selling game ever. Congrats to Wii Play.

Real question is will it be able to maintain it with games like Wii Fit, New Super Mario Bros., and Mario Kart Wii threatening?

And if anyone is curious, without exceptions it would be the 10th best selling game ever which is impressive in its own right anyways.

Impressive sales, though I still don't get it... and I don't get either why 20m people bought nintendogs... I will never understand the appeal of casual games
