If that headline didn’t shock you with utter disbelief, then maybe this fact will (though probably not). New Super Mario Bros. Wii has become the fastest-selling Wii title in Japan, raking in an excess of three million sales since its Japanese debut on December 3. The title reached the milestone in a mere seven weeks on the market, beating other hot items like Wii Fit and Wii Sports, both of which hit the three million mark.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii sold over 400,000 copies within its first day of release in Japan and nearly a million during its first week of availability.
