According to VG Chartz, who claim it has the most "accurate, up to date and comprehensive videogame charts in the world," Super Mario Bros. has lost its crown as the biggest selling game of all-time.
That plaudit has now been given to Nintendo's Wii Sports, which has now sold a staggering 40.52 million units since its release in 2006, creeping past the figure set by the mustached plumber.
Looks like it was a wise move by Nintendo to bundle Wii Sports with the console! That's kinda cheating, right?
Check out the rest of the list:
# Super Mario Bros (NES) - 40.24m
# Pokemon Red / Green / Blue (Game Boy) - 31.38m
# Tetris (Game Boy) - 30.26m
# Duck Hunt (NES) - 28.31m
# Pokemon Gold / Silver, (Game Boy) - 23.11m
# Nintendogs (DS) - 21.37m
# Super Mario World (SNES) - 20.61m
# Wii Play (Wii) - 19.68m
# Super Mario Land (Game Boy) - 18.14m
# New Super Mario Bros (DS) - 18.14m
# Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2) - 17.61m
