Wii Fit, still number 1
  Â
Unlike it’s considerable army of users, Wii Fit is sitting still. The game has just enjoyed its sixth week at the top of the software charts, seeing off contenders like Godfather 2 and Wolverine without breaking a sweat.
There are obvious reasons for its success. The Wii console remains ludicrously popular, of course, and most of the in-house titles have done well. On top of that, in Wii Fit Nintendo has a game that offers both the hilarity of the system’s novelty interface and, ostensibly, a means of getting fitter. This is the motherlode. Most people hate exercising but know they ought to do it, Wii Fit offers the prospect of working out and having fun - at the same time. And what’s more it’s all in the warmth and comfort of your own living room.
Is Wii Sports the best-selling game ever?
Nintendo has revealed global lifetime sales figures for first party Wii and DS titles that shifted over a million copies during the year ended March 31.
Topping the list is Wii Sports with 45.7 million copies sold, including those bundled with hardware. That total likely puts the game’s sales ahead of those of Super Mario Bros, which has long been considered the bestselling game in history with over 40 million sales. The 1985 NES classic was also bundled with hardware.
When approached, however, Nintendo UK said that it couldn’t confirm that sales of Wii Sports had overtaken those of Super Mario Bros.
Elsewhere in the data, Nintendo said that Wii Play sales are just 200,000 copies shy of 23 million units, followed by Wii Fit on 18.2 million and Mario Kart Wii on 15.4 million.
