Oh my god how could you spoil the results before I read them Wiisworld! Here's something about the sales that actually surprised me. The New Super Mario Bros is in the top ten. It's a good game and all but it's been out for a while.

So all of these fantastic, huge numbers every month mean that Nintendo is investing big bucks into the next console, right? And that it will feature spot-on motion and pointing, with HD graphics that will make PS3 owners cry the blues, all for only $199.99? I heart Wii.
