Wii is officially the number 1 selling console in North America now.

It's also interesting to see that GTA4 is already out of the top 10. I thought it would stay there at least through this holiday season.

GTA is niche.

Thankfully, the DS has the marketshare that lets niche games find their audience.

This is all Sales Bot's fault. If he had stayed at his post and kept the sales information flowing then this wouldn't be happening. *cry*

Salesbot was only orientated and programmed to handle spring/summertime sales of the DS and Wii within standard protocols and expected figures.

Obviously he has been a victim of karoshi, and has worked himself to death.

The wife of Salebot's alter ego had a baby in April.  I imagine he's pretty busy these days.

Worldwide SEGA has sold about 10 million copies and, as Jeffery pointed out, the upcoming Olympics will likely provide a boost to sales of the game when they kick off.

Yep it is awesome. The olympics are like 22 days from now. I expect lifetime totals to be 15 million.

The Wii version and DS versions COMBINED have sold 10 million copies worldwide.  The Wii version by itself is somewhere around 5 million.  Which still surpasses Sega's goal of 4 million though.

Of course hopefully this means we'll see another Mario and Sonic crossover in the future.  Like a Nintendo developed Platformer with the two of them, that's developed by ONLY Nintendo with Sega having no involvement in the development process at all.

No Segas goal of 4 million was also for both versions combined.

Hopefully the sequel involves MotionPlus! That would make the game even more amazing.

It's not really insane considering it uses two of the most popular mascots in videogames and places them in a venue that's relevant time wise.
