It’s no surprise to anyone that New Super Mario Bros. Wii has done extraordinarily well for Nintendo’s Wii console, which had notoriously battled an uphill climb throughout much of 2009. The mega-hit released in Japan on December 3rd, and sold 3,002,753 in just seven weeks time. Take that Modern Warfare 2!
Mario, Luigi, Toad and…Toad reached the 3 million mark faster than both Wii Sports and Wii Fit, which also sold over 3 million copies each. Now in its fourth year, and with a new Zelda, Metroid and Mario Galaxy title all coming this year, it appears the Wii has a lot of life left.
