The Year of Luigi's million sellers

[Deezer]

Luigi's 30th anniversary year has ended, and the sales data is in. Three games released last year featuring Mr. Green 'Stache sold more than one million copies worldwide: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, New Super Luigi U, and Super Mario 3D World. Additionally, Mario Kart Wii, which launched in 2008, sold over a million units in 2013, bringing its lifetime total to over 35 million.

Yesterday, Nintendo released an updated list of some of its million-seller titles for Wii U, 3DS, and Wii. Here are the games featuring Mario, Luigi, or DK that were listed, along with the global units sold in millions through December 2013.

* Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (3DS) - 1.43
* Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS) - 3.79

My bet's on Mario Kart. Sells like hotcakes. Or something that sells in large quantities.

I think all three have potential to be million plus sellers, hope that YNI isn't hindered by the team developing it.  I personally very much liked the DS version, but know I am in the minority.  I know that DK no longer holds the majorities appeal, but from what I've seen, it's a great game that I hope to play with my family  this holiday season.  Mario Kart always has appeal.  I look forward to it being awesome and selling likewise.  Probably even best overall, but I also look forward to SM3DW... yes, I don't own it... Yet.
