Here Are the Best-Selling Wii and DS Games of All Time

Nintendo is one of the biggest companies involved in the video game industry these days, thanks to the dominance it has on both the hardware side, with the Wii and DS, and on the software side, holding many extremely popular and profitable IPs in its hands.

But many people have begun to wonder just how good Nintendo has it, at least in terms of video games sold across the world. In answer to this question, the Japanese company itself has revealed its own internal statistics regarding the best-selling DS and Wii games of all time.

The results are mind boggling to say the least, revealing just how popular its titles truly are, despite the fact that they aren't hardcore properties that would appeal to the bulk of average gamers. These mostly casual titles have smashed the opposition and have made Nintendo the powerhouse that it is today. Here are the numbers:
