New Super Mario Bros Wii outsells Modern Warfare 2
Activision has bragged about Modern Warfare 2 selling 10 million units, solidifying that franchises always rule. However, while MW2 was riding a high wave of publicity and PR, another franchise was released around the same time; New Super Mario Bros. Wii. And it instantly became the fastest selling game in Japan, and has to date sold 3 million copies there, according to Famitsu.
Count in the sales from North America, 4 million, and Europe, 3 million, you get 10 million games sold + at least half a million in Australia and the rest of the world (like Korea and China), sales pass on the other side of 10 million, and surpass Modern Warfare 2, which was always thought to be the best selling game at this time.
It’s not. The best selling game is New Super Mario Bros Wii.
