Wii Sports, it could be argued, sold in excess of 45.7 million units through the end of Nintendo's most recent fiscal year. The figure, of course, is a bit muddled, considering Wii Sports comes packed in with all new systems in nearly all regions where the Wii is available.
Why exercise a real dog when this one is so much cuter! Still, it appears as if Wii Sports would have done well regardless of its pack-in status, if the success of its successor is any indication. Nintendo said today that Wii Sports Resort has sold more than 1 million units in the United States since launching on July 26. The publisher noted that the game has reached the 1-million-unit marker in Europe and Japan as well, bringing the game's lifetime total to more than 3 million copies worldwide.
Wii Sports Resort features a dozen events, including archery, wakeboarding, basketball, bowling, and golf. The game sells for $49.99 and comes packed in with the Wii MotionPlus Wii Remote add-on. The peripheral, which enhances the precision of the Wii's motion-sensing capabilities, has now sold more than 2 million units in the US, according to Nintendo, as it is sold separately for $19.99 and packed in with EA's Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10.
