Mario Kart Wii has sold over three hundred thousand units in its native country of Japan, reports are suggesting.

According to gaming website Jeux France, the title has racked up the sales after being out for just over twenty-four hours.

If true, it would mean Mario Kart has already beaten Wii Fit - which sold 250,000 in first week - but not Super Smash Brothers. Brawl that somehow racked up half a million sales on its first day.

Of course, Jeux France doesn't indicate how it knows this, so we might find out that only an elderly pensioner and a four year old girl bought the game yesterday. Based on the amount of people we've seen online though, we doubt it.
