So which Mario game do you think has sold the most for the Wii? If like me you thought it was Super Mario Galaxy then you are horribly mistaken, in fact the real winner for the Wii has been New Super Mario Bros Wii which is by far and away the top selling Mario title on the Wii.
However in reality it is only the 5th top selling title in the Mario franchise with the original Super Mario Bros released in 1985 dominating the family to this day with over 40 million units sold.
Check the graph below for the entire family.

Yeah I am not Suprised actually, its the first game I ever played so its popularity doens’t surprise me. Thank you Mr. Miyamoto for single handedly creating modern gaming as we know it, had it not been for this game there would be no Halo,Gears, Uncharted etc. All of gaming’s allumni always pay tribute to him as their inspiration for pursuing game design from Kojima to Carmack. Yeah his like the Madiba of video games!
