VGChartz data shows that the Wii has sold 45 million units to date, meaning that Wii Sports sales could reach the 50 million units mark.
Bundled with most NES consoles, Super Mario Bros. was released between 1985 and 1987 across the USA, Japan and Europe. It reached sales of 40.24 million units on an install base of 61.91 million NES consoles.
