Translation, made by me

 

Wii Sports, the best-selling game ever

 

According to the ranking made by VGChartz, a company that compiles and projects videogame sales in various countries, Wii Sports is the best-selling title in history, with 40.52 millions of copies sold around the world.

Nintendo's game released in 2006, characterized by using a wireless remote that copies in the screen the movements made by the user with his body, surpasses now the undisputed leader during many years, Super Mario Bros., which, with 40.24 mil. copies sold is now in second place, publishes La Tercera

In the list made by the site, the games of the japanese company lead the sales at global scale, because in the 10 first places also can be found Pokemon Red/Green/Blue (released in 1996 and with 31.38 mil copies sold) followed by Tetris (30.26), Duck Hunt (28.31), Pokemon Gold/Silver (23.11), Nintendogs (21.37), Super Mario World (20.61), Wii Play (19.68) and Super Mario Land with 18.14 millions of copies

The VGChartz company makes its sales charts based on data from different retail chains of countries like Japan, USA, Canada, England, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, among others
