I expected mario galaxy to be top selling. Probably 5th because it's the newest. All the other games are great, but mario party is alright I guess.

Should Wii sports count? Considering it comes with the Wii?

I can't believe that Super Mario Galaxy is in the 5th place.

Those are all games made by Nintendo. I guess that guy from No more heroes knew what he was talking about.

Wii dominates! Not a single thing there is not Nintendo! Heh heh. Sony. Wait why is super mario galaxy below mario party 8?

That's because Ps3 sucks and Xbox 360 isn't Japanese.

Wait, does Wii Sports even come with the Wii in Japan, because if that was the case, shouldn't there be over 5 million copies of Wii Sports sold also.

Supersmashboom, in case you didn't know, Wii Sports is sold separately in Japan.

What's SMG doing in 5th? It's a Mario game, not to mention the best Wii game.

How the heck does "Wii Sports" get to the top? What, some people get it with the Wii and accidentally break it?!? -calms down- After all, the Wii IS about a year or two old, right? Broken games may have happened over the years/months.
