Now the country's biggest seller

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a global sales sensation, having racked up over 16 million sales worldwide since its release just one year ago, with four million of those sales in Japan alone, making it the territory's biggest selling Wii title.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the first title to pass the four million milestone in the Land of the Rising Sun, perhaps a surprising statistic considering the machine's been on sale for over four years now, but is proof if any were needed that Mario's popularity lives on.

It's amazing that New Super Mario Bros. Wii has 4 million sold in Japan within a span of about a year.

Holy cow. That is pretty amazing. But New Super Mario Bros. Wii isn't even really that much of an amazing game to be honest. I like it, yes. But I suppose the majority of what people like is what makes something become a hit. :/ I don't know.

Amazing, but I could've expected it to be sold like crazy. It's one of the best games they have on the Wii and I can't see anyone hating this game. It truly is a great game.

Wow, I thought NSMBWii was good, but I didn't know it was this good to sell that many copies of the game.
And as Chubby said, I haven't met anyone who hates the Game!
wow...

Wow Japanese people really like Nintendo, they probably all own Wiis and no one owns a 360 or PS3 there.

It's probably because Japan is where the original Nintendo HQ is.
