According to recent NPD Group numbers, the Wii Play video game is the best selling title of the new millennium (in the US), surpassing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Over 11 million Wii Play units have been sold since 2000, surpassing San Andreas, at 8.25 million.
Wii Fit is well on its way to surpassing GTA as well, with 7.9 million units sold through the end of August. Cammie Dunaway ... [ read the full article ]

yea... i bought it for the controller.. and then realized.. i should have just gotten the controller because the play games stink. Maybe the "turn the shapes" game is fun.. ish.
I've got to agree. The game sucks. These sales numbers should not be counted due to the majority of people buying this for the control and not for the game play offered. I played with this for maybe thirty minutes tops, and I haven't looked back since.
This is akin to what some musicians were doing to boost CD sales. They were including a copy of the new CD with concert ticket purchases. These sales numbers counted as legitimate purchases.
Would Wii Sports fall into this category? It would technically be a purchased game.
I SERIOUSLY don't believe that Wii Play surpassed Grand Theft Auto SD for hottest selling game. Something is wrong here. I think someone should re-evaluate the stats on this one. Either someone coming up with that stat has been monetarily influenced by nintendo to say this, or the guy is a nintendo fan.
That still doesn't explain the Wii Fit @ $90 getting ready to surpass GTA:SanAndreas.
The numbers don't surprise me...it was basically only $10 more than the cost of a controller and you get some other stuff to do. If it totally sucked...well...it was only $10 and maybe it kept the kids (10 and younger) distracted for a couple of days.
Maybe if GTA:SanAndreas was $10 it would still be the most sold game.
