@Just_Ben, First : I do not downbid you (somebody else do that). Second : VGChartz have erratic performance on their data. Sometime they are correct (+- 5%), sometime they are very wrong (+- 50%). Using VGChartz is almost the same as not using any data at all (I will automatically ignore data from vgchartz). This mean I have to do more work (like getting data from elspa, NPD, Famitsu/M-create), and made my own worldwide data. VGChartz is good for getting ballpark idea (they will not be wrong 90%, as in saying a game is selling 1 million, while the actual # is 100K or 10 Million, but they can be significantly wrong, like 50%).
About Mario Kart vs SSBB, they are both casual game, so the sales should be both good (since Wii is a casual heavy console). The actual # that should be reasonable for those 2 games are up to each member's calculation.
One word of caution : Mario Kart DS, is #10 in the Japan Top 10 "DS game with legs", with 2.7 Million sales in Japan, and still showing up occasionally in Top 30 Weekly.
I think it is possible that Mario Kart Wii can have greater than SSBB sales, World Wide. It is not certain, but it is significantly probable.
