VGChartz is certainly no less accurate than the NPD (Media Create might be more accurate, what with their numbers down to the ones place and all). Both of them take existing data and extrapolate it to cover for unknowns

Plus VGChartz corrects their data with every release of "official" numbers, so if it isn't accurate today, it will be in a maximum of 30 days

well, think about it. how many wii's were sold in North America - all bundled with wii sports. Then add in the number of purchases of wii sports in Europe. Then, I dont know how Japan or Australia or any other place gets their Wii Sports, but thats ought to be a lot. Makes sense to me.

Wii sport isn't bundled everywhere here in Europe?

I'm confused, you say super mario bros is the top selling game of all time but at the end you say NES. Am I wrong or wasn't super mario bros on the SNES?

Wow you make one mistake and people are all over your ass. It wasnt even like I was claiming I knew everything or even trying to be a D-bag. I was asking a question I would have like a small correction if I was wrong. Thanks for being friendly guys.

well, instead of asking here and looking like an idiot, you could've taken an extra 5 seconds to go to google or the wikipedia and searched for Super Mario Bros. It's not your ignorance that pisses me off, it's your lazy arrogance.

You don't deserve to be a gamer after that. I don't think you know anything about video games...

...duh, Wii Sports is bundled with every Wii sold, at least in North America if not Europe too. That means that for every Wii sold in these regions, a copy of Wii Sports is also sold, whether the purchaser wants it or not. If it weren't bundled I doubt Wii Sports sales would be anywhere near as high. Sure, it's a great game, but not everyone would buy it if it weren't bundled. Even if Japan, etc. don't have it bundled, the regions that do are enough to push Wii Sports sales to levels it would probably never hit if it weren't bundled in anywhere.

Wii Sports is what sells Wii systems. Wii sales are so immense because of casual gamers and families that will buy a Wii merely for Wii Sports and never buy another game after that. In the 80's, people bought the NES for Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, this instance is no different.

I like wii sports but you can't say it was the best selling game only because it came with the wii. If it didn't it might not have sold that much, dont get wrong wii sports is a great game(and personally I hate mario I'm more of a sonic fan) but remember that mario got his title by sitting on shelves and wii sports didn't.

"but you can't say it was the best selling game only because it came with the wii. "

Um, hello? Super Mario Bros was bundled with NES. Are we not going to count all those copies too?
-_-

But to be honest, I thought I'd never see the day when SMB would be knocked out of top place. Well done Wii Sports.
