Sports Resort For The Wii Sells One Million Units In 1 Month
Nintendo is seeing tremendous success with the sales of Wii Sports Resort. The game has sold about 1 million copies in the first month of release. Wii Sports Resort is the sequel to the game that comes with the Nintendo Wii. The game started selling on July 26th.
The game comes with a Wii MotionPlus controller and has games such as Frisbee, kayaking, ping-pong, waverunning, sword-fighting, etc. Nintendo has also sold about 2 million Wii MotionPlus controllers which comes bundled with EA’s Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf game.
Considering that the game is selling for about $46 in retail stores and on Amazon.com, that gives Nintendo close to about $46 million in revenue just for one game in a month minus all of the overhead costs.

Wii Sports Resort TV Commercial Makes The Game Look Even More Enticing
Back in April, I wrote about how Nintendo will be releasing Wii Sports Resort this month. Earlier this week Nintendo launched a TV commercial for the game and it makes me even more anxious to get my hands on it. The commercial shows players competing at jousting, kayaking, and ping pong. Wii Sports Resort utilizes Wii MotionPlus which tracks a player’s movements accurately. But at the same time watching this commercial makes me want to go a resort in real life and not in a virtual world.
