MotionPlus-bundled title shifts three million units worldwide
Nintendo's Wii Sports Resort has sold one million units across Europe.
The game has also exceeded one million sales in Japan and the US, bringing worldwide sales to over three million units.
Wii Sports Resort is the sequel to Wii Sports, and comes bundled with Nintendo's new MotionPlus accessories. Excluding Wii Sports Resort sales, the Wii MotionPlus has sold 936,000 units in Europe.
“The early sales figures represent a strong start for Wii Sports Resort, which is on its way to becoming another Nintendo title that sells steadily over an extended period of time as opposed to a single flash on its launch day," said Nintendo of Europe's MD Lauren Fischer.
"Combined with strong figures for Wii MotionPlus, the data suggests that more families and friends are playing together than ever before – which, for Nintendo, is a major objective.”
