Mario's latest knocks Wii Fit off of the throne.
The weekly Japanese sales report published by ASCII Media Works lists New Super Mario Bros. Wii as selling 35,580 copies, right behind number-one seller Pokemon Ranger: Path of Light. What's notable about this sales tally is that it officially makes New Super Mario Bros. Wii the best-selling Wii title in Japan to date.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii has now sold approximately 3,495,000 copies in the territory, inching just ahead of previous record-holder Wii Fit, which sits at roughly 3,474,000 units sold.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii has been available in Japan since December 3 of last year.
