Correction THE WORLD usa, near all of europe, japan, asia etc. Wii is fastest selling system ever, it shares all global records with DS. Wii owns 2009 globally also Wii now over 50% userbase, add DS huge numbers and it's clear who is the gaming godfather.

Wii Fit Plus has inspired me to buy New Super Mario Bros Wii, so those are definitely not the end to Mario's sales.
