That’s a lot of peripherals and a lot of money right there. But yes, according to a report on Eurogamer, both titles soared past the total needed to secure diamond status, which represents the kind of figures most other games would be extremely envious of (and probably make snide comments about the size of Mario Kart’s arse while doing so). Indeed, the hugely popular Grand Theft Auto IV could only manage double-platinum - a comparatively paltry 600,000 copies, though admittedly it did that for both currently available versions, so the sales might compare favourably with the two aforementioned Nintendo titles.
Elsewhere, Big Brain Academy (the DS version) reached double-platinum status while Super Smash Bros. Brawl reached single-platinum, with over 300,000 units shifted. A quick scan for Super Mario Galaxy reveals that still holds platinum status, though its star has risen faintly of recent weeks with Nintendo’s recent advertising blitz seeing it shift a few more copies. Can it reach double-platinum?
