Surely, everyone saw this coming: Nintendo has revelaed that Wii Sports Resort is a ridiculously huge success.
The publisher has revealed that since its June 26 launch, over 1 million copies of the game have been sold in the United States. Oh, and in Japan and Europe each, more than 1 million copies of Wii Sports Resort have been sold as well. This shouldn't be too surprising, as the game ships with the exciting new Wii MotionPlus peripheral that everyone just has to have. Oh, and the words "Wii Sports" are so popular that appending them to pretty much anything would result in a sales explosion (i.e. Wii Sports Colonoscopy is trademark just waiting to happen).
It helps that the collection of games, including Swordplay and archery, are actually pretty damned good. Were you one of the 1 million Wii Sports Resort sales?

Basically everybody.
and yes in between bouts of playing "TEH HARDCOREZ G@mEZ" (or something to that effect), I enjoy playing the odd bit of Wii sports Resort when my friends call round.
and yeah, it also happens to be a pretty good game too
I hate the games you like.
And the sad thing? It will get almost no play time whatsoever. Were both busy adults and I couldn't stand the non-game tripe that was Wii Sports and sold it off right after getting my Wii.

Who did you sell Wii Sports to? It comes with the console. Everybody (except the Japanese) would have a copy!
I sold it to a local independent game store. They'll buy most anything.
Sorry about the multi-post, I kept getting error messages.
Oh noes!
I'd like to see a game based on the sword fighting with robust RPG features, character creation, online play and a cool Wii sword peripheral!
I don't really care about Wii Motion+ until I see a complete game using it.
