Well, 1 million in every territory is worthy of news I reckon.
But in terms of tracking value, I think it's most important just to know how many WM+ controllers are out there versus the total amount of Wiis sold. That would give an indication of the attachment rate (hi hi) of this add-on, which is relevant in terms of supporting it with games. |

Not as through there is going to be a steep learning curve with this game. More of the same, more money printed.

Hantheman - you seem to care enough to make bigoted comments on the gaming choices of what you refer to as idiots! It's newsworthy whether you're a hardcore gamer that visits internet discussion boards to read about the success of Wii or you're one of the casual gamers that's at home playing their Wii, blissfully unaware of such discussions!

This is where having the biggest marketshare based on your own 1st party property pays big time. As the saying goes, people buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games and when you have a game like Wii Sports, you can only expect it to sell. It should sell even better than Wii Fit which I still wonder why that thing sold as much as it has.

Golgo: No one is attacking genres, like FPS, RPG, or RTS. they are attacking different production values.
And yes, for example hardcore film fans hate Michael Bay for making casual "popcorn movies". |

Wii Sports Resort has fantastic production values and is full to the brim with Nintendo magic. Where's the love, people?
