Default BTW WiiSports is now the best selling videogame all time

It has finally surpassed Super Mario Bros and it's about time something dethrones SMB it has held it's position for about two decades now!

I'll always question a bundled game being called highest selling since people are technically buying the console not the game. However if we don't include them it'll only be a matter of time until Wii Play becomes the highest selling game of all time so it's probably best this way.

I understand your feelings toward bundled games, but keep in mind that a lot of the runner ups to this title have all been officially bundled at some point or another.

I think (if I recall correctly) that if we take away all games that have been officially bundled the title to most sold video game ever goes to Super Mario Land or GTA3:VC (or was it SA, bahh I always mix those two with each other )

All of the games are fun especially boxing. I don't really think bundled games should be counted towards the best selling game of all time.

Not counting bundles the original pokemon is the best selling game, but that was actually more than one game. So getting rid of pokemon and nintendogs, Super mario bros. 3 is the best selling game of all time.
