It was really just a matter of time. Enterbrain announced today that New Super Mario Bros. Wii has become the third Wii game to reach triple platinum status.

As reported at Famitsu.com, the Wii's big year-end release reached 3,002,753 total units sold over the week ending on the 17th. The game was released on December 3, meaning it topped the three million mark in just 7 weeks. This is a new record for the Wii.

Wii Sports and Wii Fit are the other two Wii games to reach triple platinum status. New Super Mario Bros. Wii has a ways to go before beating them in total sales, but it does at least have them beat in speed.

3 million... in 7 weeks... in Japan?? That's insane.

this does mean it only sold 80-90k this week =(

Blows to the King:o

@neos: that's weird, they had it in 120k this week according to the source....

that means the preview is a little off,

or,

we had the game higher in the first place, which would mean it did sell 120k according to famitsu/enterbrain

we'll see =)

This makes me happy that Mario is seeing the type of success he should be.

I know this is an exciting time... but I mean, I'd rather just bow.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is Giganormous!

3M is a lot. In the smallest region, it is amazing. Roughly one of every three Wii owners in Japan has bought NSMBWii.
