Well if your looking at sales... I'd say your list is correct.
But "popularity" is hard to judge. Popular amongst everyone in the world? Popular among gamers? Popular among the so-called "hardcore"?
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Nintendo is the best videogames company ever!

Montanna - In terms of sales this gen, Mario has the Wii series spanked
Mario Kart DS and Wii, Galaxy, NSMB, 2 X Mario and Sonic @ the Olympics, 2 x Mario Party
Anyway, considering only sales this gen
Mario
Wii Series
Pokemon
Brain Age
Nintendogs
Animal Crossing
Zelda
Big brain Academy
Alas, Metroid isn't even close to the top 10

Yeah Scottie, but the Wii series has a lot of room to grow. Wii Sports alone could easily sell 100 million plus by the end of the gen. Then you add in Wii Play, Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, Wii Music, hell even Wii Chess (if it ever sees the light of day). It will be a big series on just one platform in one generation.
I agree that it will be a close thing by the end of the gen. The Wii series has WF+ coming, and WS, WSR, WF and WP all still have a lot of life left in them. But Mario just has so many more games announced but unreleased
NSMB:Wii this Christmas
SMG:2 Early next year
Mario and Sonic @ the Winter games, DS and Wii
Western Release of Mario and Luigi
Later in the gen we shall certainly see Mario Party 9.
My bet is on the plumber
