I also consider Pokemon to be the best selling game of all time.

Hmmm... I could find evidence of Mario Land 2 being bundled back in 1994, but nothing about Mario Land 1... so, good list.

I don't see why Mario Kart being bundled with the wheel takes anything away from it. I'd say that this is the top selling title.

This.

While Wii Play is actually sold more for the controller than the game, Mario Kart Wii is clearly just a $50 game. It deserves the top spot.

*Super Mario Land - Biggest Selling Stand Alone Title (No Bundles / No Variants) 18.14 MIL

(( I have looked several times and Super Mario Land when taken into consideration could be the biggest selling stand alone title of all time. After hitting over a milloin units in sales Super Mario Land was repackaged as a PLAYERS CHOICE BEST SELLER title, but that was a package redesign and nothing new was added. If anyone can confirm this was bundled at one point, then the SIMS on PC is next in line sales wise ))

Mario Land was bundled at one point with the redesigned Game Boy Pocket along with SML2...

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I'm betting NSMBWii will easily take over the title of the best selling game ever, but right now I'm giving the nod to MKWii.

The best part about it is that NSMBWii isn't coupled with anything else and will never have a different version. 99.999% sure Nintendo would never bundle it with a Wii, also.

So watch out. NSMBWii is-a comin'.

San Andreas was a sales beast. Those are just the PS2 sales too.

I'd say wii fit deserves the top honors on that list. With the total package cost, its amazing how much it's sold. Guess the U.S. in general really needs to slim down. Pretty sure that helped a lot
