    I guess they forgot to list Zelda. Pretty sure that sold a few million. Maybe 5 or so.

            Where does it say this in the news post above? Maybe it says it on the Kotaku page linked but unless I'm missing it, it doesn't say this in the post above.

            Also, holy shit the cooking training game sold as many as NSMB?
