@mrahaju, Additional info regarding Wii Motion+: Nintendo's internal sales figures also show that more than 2 million Wii MotionPlus accessories are now in the hands of consumers in the United States. That includes those bundled with Wii Sports Resort and Electronic Arts' Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, as well as those sold separately at a suggested retail price of $19.99 each.
According to Nintendo's internal tracking figures, sales of the Wii Sports Resortâ„¢ game have surpassed 1 million copies in the United States since its July 26 launch. Japan and Europe have also sold more than 1 million copies each since the title launched in their respective markets.
Nintendo's follow up to the best-selling game of all time, Wii Sports, is off to a good start in the United States. The company boasted today of Wii Sports Resort's first week sales, some 500,000 copies in eight days.
Nintendo of America estimates one Wii Sports Resorts sale every 1.5 seconds, give or take a fraction, between its release on July 26 and August 3.
@gossomer, Doesnt everyone find this 500k number extremely low given the strategic importance on this title. This is well below the launch of both Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, and Wii Fit.
