New Super Mario Bros. Wii has just crossed the 3 million sales mark, making it the fastest Wii title to cross the 3 million sales threshold in Japan.

The game went on sale in Japan on the 3rd of December last year and has gone on to sell 3 002 753 units in its first seven weeks on sale. As a result it has overtaken other popular Wii titles that have also crossed the 3 million sales mark including Wii Sports and Wii Fit.
