 Wii Sports has sold over 50 million copies worldwide, while New Super Mario Bros. DS has sold just under 20 million copies, according to software sales data released by Nintendo.    

Other notable million sellers include Wii Play at 24.43 million, Wii Fit at 22 million, Mario Kart Wii at 18.36 million. The sales data includes all versions of the game, including bundles and special editions.    

Recent titles have also shown impressive sales numbers. Wii Sports Resort has sold a bit under seven million copies since its release last summer worldwide. Wii Fit Plus has sold over two million units. In Japan, Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver combined to sell 2.27 million copies. Finally, Level 5's Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box has sold 1.26 million. The numbers, however, only apply to overseas sale of the title, due to the game being published by Level 5 themselves in Japan.    

In addition to their official sales data, they also updated their release schedule for 2010. The North America list mentions eight titles for both Wii and DS. The Japan schedule lists over 14 games, while the European schedule only has six titles. In the North American list, many of the games are marked as temporary.  New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Sin and Punishment 2, Metroid: Other M, and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are the only games to appear on all regions.

Umm, what?

I assume you mean in Japan, but you don't mention Japan until the next sentence when referring to Pokemon, and then again in the last sentence.

There was an error in posting. It should read "just under seven million"

Changing now.

[BlackNMild2k1]

that's good, because even just in Japan would've been wrong too

but 7million WW in the last 4 months O.O

[Mop it up]

Though not so surprising, that's still a pretty impressive number for Wii Sports Resort.

Ah, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Craps. I will not be getting that.

[NWR_insanolord]

Is Picross 3D out already in Japan? If so, I don't understand why it's not coming out here this year. Oh well, at least it's still on the list.

[BeautifulShy]

Halibred can you just say that you won't be getting instead of including a jab at the game. Try and lead by example.


Anyway I will be getting Spirit Tracks. Golden Sun next year.All those Wii games,maybe Line Attack Heroes.Need more info.

Miyamoto says ST will be more challenging than PH.
