Wii Play Becomes Best Selling Title Ever (Kind of)

WiiPlay, the often ridiculed minigame collection for the Wii, has become the best selling console game of all time by selling over 11 million units. Or at least the best selling since 1995, which is when the NPD started measuring sales.

Of course the reason WiiPlay sold well isn't because of the game itself, but because it came bundled with an extra Wii Remote, making it a no-brainer addition to any Wii purchase. Why buy a Wii Remote by itself for $40 when you can but WiiPlay with a remote for $50 (or in some cases as low as $45).

Thanks to Nintendo's trickery of calling the package a game instead of an accessory that just happens to be called a game it now tops the all times sales chart. Also from the Wii making the list is WiiFit and Mario Kart Wii. There are also many other games on the list that are available on the Wii swell as other platforms. Here's the complete top ten:
