With Wii hardware and software sales being down significantly since last year, Nintendo still managed to hit a few home runs. As presumed, Wii Sports Resort sold extremely well. The title, exclusively bundled with MotionPlus, sold 6.97 million units since its June release date.
The title is one of several million sellers that popped up in recent sales figures from Nintendo, with Wii Sports (not sold as a pack-in title in Japan) selling nearly 4.83 million between April and September. Thankfully, the second in the series of puzzle titles, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box sold 1.26 million units during the same time frame.
Despite being released three years ago, New Super Mario Bros. for the DS sold 1.49 million units. Looks like making a Wii sequel was probably the first of several smart moves in Nintendo’s plan for continued world domination.
