Wii Sports has pipped retro favourite Super Mario Bros. as the best-selling game of all time.In a list of worldwide sales put together by VGChartz, Wii Sports has apparently sold 40.52 million units (including bundle sales), while Super Mario Bros. sits at second place with 40.24 million sold
With Wii consoles still selling marvellously, it is thought Wii Sports will break the 50 million mark while it is in the top spot.
Unlucky Mario - still it's been a good run at the top, considering it was released over 15 years ago.
The top 10 best-selling games, and their sales figures, are below. And rather interestingly, they're all Nintendo games. Well done Nintendo, someone must know what they're doing.
1. Wii Sports, Wii - 40.52m
