Go figure, it's the day after Mother's Day, and Majesco Entertainment announces a Cooking Mama milestone.  The Cooking Mama franchise has officially sold more than 4 million units in the U.S. alone, across five titles incluing Gardening Mama.

The Cooking Mama series has amused both casual and core gamers, thanks to Mama's charming personality and defiant stance against her critics at PETA, who once attacked poor Mama for not making enough vegetarian dishes.  Luckily, Mama doesn't take no sass.

"We are thrilled to reach this significant milestone. Majesco's #1 franchise continues to resonate with gamers of all ages and genders," said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer at Majesco.  "We will continue to explore ways to expand the Mama brand with innovative and compelling products that offer new entertainment experiences."

Perhaps we'll be seeing Executive Mama soon?  Yeah, probably not.  The current franchise includes these titles on Nintendo Wii and DS, now available for $29.99 or less:
