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 of Nintendo says however that the numbers will be a lot higher after NPD releases their September numbers in a couple of days.
"When we see the September sales, we think that's going to be strong and that'll put us over the eight million mark. And then with October, we'll just have to see," said Dunaway.
In fourth place is GTA: Vice City at 6.9 million followed by Mario Kart Wii at 6.7 million units sold.
