Eventhough the official NPD numbers for December aren't coming out until next week, Nintendo of America has already issued a statement that they're extremely pleased with having sold an estimate of over 3 Million Nintendo Wii consoles while New Super Mario Bros. Wii seems to have an overall lifetime sales number of almost 4 million already.

Not bad compared to 2.15 million Wii units sold in December 2008. Also, if the 1.4 million sales of New Super Mario Bros. Wii in November are contracted from the estimated December numbers that would mean the game has sold over 2 million in the last month of 2009.

NPD doesn't take all retailers into consideration so the official numbers may be a bit lower but even then it looks like that recent price drop of the Wii has paid off.
