Super Mario Bros. has been the best-selling game of all time for years now, but that throne may have been usurped by another Nintendo title: Wii Sports. According to VGChartz, Wii Sports has surpassed that coveted 40.24 million mark.We're keeping this a rumor because, uh, it's VGChartz. They're never too good about sourcing their stuff and, to tell the truth, we've only ever heard one person claim their data was correct (it was in our interview with 2D Boy here). It's not that we don't believe Wii Sports could top the original NES game, we're just skeptical of VGChartz.[Via Joystiq]

I found this on Wikipedia buut it might be outdated.
Super Mario Bros. (NES – 40.23 million)[51]
Tetris (Game Boy – 33 million)[101]
Wii Sports (Wii – 30.87 million)[89] (packaged with system in all regions except Japan)
Super Mario World (SNES – 20 million)
I could see how this is true though because of the amount of Wii's sold.
