Mario’s first console bound, 2D title since Super Mario World debuted with great success across the world.  Sales figures for Japan have been released, and the chubby plumber managed to sell a whopping 937,000 units.  That impressive number not only makes New Super Mario Bros. Wii the highest first week sales for a Wii title to date, but it also beats previous record breaker Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Looks like Mario has beat Mario! It should also be noted that 420,000 of those units sold where purchased on the first day. “Woo hoo!”
