New Super Mario Bros Wii is now the fastest selling game to hit 10 million on a single console

New Super Mario Bros Wii has hit another milestone today, 10 million in worldwide sales, with that milestone comes breaking Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' record of fastest to sell 10 million copies on a single console. The previous record was ten weeks and New Super Mario Bros smashes it at eight, no doubt this generation will continue to break sales records for previous generations.

Currently the game stands at 4.5 million in North America, 2.9 million in Japan, and 2.9 in others. Along with that the game has amassed an estimated $610 million in revenue worldwide. To say the game is selling like hotcakes would be an understatement, and isn't stopping any time soon.

Congratulations Nintendo and Mario

good game but nintendo doesnt deserve it. I mean just look at it...the character models themselves look like jaggied messes. The background is 2D, and the wii is suppose to be stronger than the xbox and they couldnt even add some AA? The game was a quick job with the old school mario formula. Good game but Super Mario Galaxy deserves these sales. Best mario game ever.

edit:

Since alot of people quoted me I hope they see this. I like this game but i dont think it doesnt deserve these sales because of graphics. Im just saying this game was a rushed job using the original super mario formula. The jaggies are just one of my complaints with the rushed job. Nintendo didnt do much for this game, nintendo could make mario sidescrollers good with theyre eyes closed.

But when they put in great work and try new things for an amazing game like Super Mario Galaxy it simply gets ignored.

Doesn't the word paradigm tells you something? This game is another example of how to break them.

i agree SMG was better...but not because of the graphics

i mean who HONESTLY cares what graphics NSMBwii had? it's a frickin 2D side scroller dude

saying it doesn't deserve the sales it has gotten because of jaggies? i mean seriously?

They don't deserve it because of the character models? Why don't you go to Best Buy and ask for a discount because the employee has zits.

Nintendomination once again. After two gens of lackluster sales Nintendo are finally starting to reel in the big bucks again. Now hopefully they can use this money to make quality future titles, and possibly revive some old ones that we haven't seen for awhile (Donkey Kong, I'm looking at you!)

More money has just made Nintendo sloppy and lazy. They were more hungry during the GC era and tried harder.

You'll be surprised at how much a company would learn after getting most of their 3rd Party support stolen by Sony during the N64 era and finishing dead last during the GC era. Companies don't make the same mistake twice, or they won't be a company anymore.

I played a bit on EB Games, it definitely have that old-school charm in the game. If I got enough money, it's a buy for me. For now, college and Mass Effect 2 would have most of my attention.

A game with childlike charm on a system aimed at children and non gamers sells 10 million. The Wii has been in a gaming drought for over a year, anything under 10 million for THE FRANCHISE TITLE would be shocking.

Well i guess if all Wii fan's can celebrate is 1st party rehashes then congratulations.

Still you should demand more from Nintendo then the latest rehashed incarnations of their 25 year old 1st party titles.

Graphics don't make this game, the gameplay does. I actually like this much better than Galaxy. Although Galaxy was a good game, this was more like the original super mario bros games, plus playing with friends is a blast.

So New Super Mario Bros. Wii has broken a sales record and even outsold Modern Warfare 2, despite the latter being available for three platforms. Truly remarkable.

I have this game and i really cant see how any of you guys are calling it great. After reading the reviews i was actually pretty hyped for it but after playing it i can tell you its average at best. Super mario world over 15 years old is a far superior game in almost every way,even by todays standards, and the wii games graphics arnt even that significantly better.

The game is easy, short, pretty crap powers (heli one is mildy enteraining the rest are nothing new) and multiplayer really isnt as fun as it sounds. This game and mf2, the 2 best selling games of the year, just show you how easy it is to make money in this industry nowaday if you are a rich company. All you need to do is rehash a older game (mf game - cod1 and 2) and give it a decent marketing campaign and there u go millions of copys sold even if the game sucks and has no depth. Thank God im a pc gamer and can get some real quality games, that said i do enjoy the ps3(and to a lesser extent the wii) with friends and ps3 does have the odd gem eg uncharted 2.

Absolutely.

SolidTy

What? What about Kart? It sold 15-20million while competiting with Smash bros, Galaxy, Wii Fit

and lack of 1st party? I don't call ExciteBots, Punch Out a lack of 1st party, plus all the wiiware games they put out

i think its just the great commercials and marketing mixed with the biggest gaming mascot, mario

it returns to the 2d mario ppl know and love, people went out and bought wii's for this game, those people who kinda gave up once mario went 3d (Like some friends of mine)

When I tried it at christmas I thought it was great, but exactly the same feeling as playing Mario 3. Why repeat an experience. I could fire up zsnes here and now, and get the same amount of fun from a game two decades old.

good game but nintendo doesnt deserve it. I mean just look at it...the character models themselves look like jaggied messes.

I do wonder why the character models look so terrible. It really bugs me especially when games like the 2D Wario and Super Paper Mario look so great.
