Nintendo released today as part of its financial report the best selling games on both Wii U and 3DS. The list is not surprising – Mario dominates the Wii U (not many games that didn’t feature Mario were released on that system), while Pokemon games earn their place at the top on the 3DS, with the rest of the slots followed by – you guessed it, Mario.
It’s also not surprising that the 3DS games sold much better – the top games are averaging at 15 million units sold, while the top Wii U games only sold around 5 million. This is because so many more people own a 3DS than a Wii U.
Below is the full top 10 for both systems.

- Mario Kart 8 — 8 million
