Title: Wii MotionPlus Totals 374k in June Sales
Post by: NWR_Neal on July 18, 2009, 03:49:57 AM
With over 200,000 sales coming from the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 bundle, MotionPlus seems to be off to a good start in its inaugural month.
 http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=19038

 Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus has sold 374,000 units between the standalone version (169,000) and the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 bundle (205,000).    


Both were released on June 8, and the Tiger Woods MotionPlus bundle was the seventh-best-selling game of the month. Virtua Tennis 2009 and Grand Slam Tennis also came out the same week and took advantage of MotionPlus.    


Nintendo's first MotionPlus game, Wii Sports Resort, is slated for July 26 and will be bundled with the peripheral.

Buy more Tiger!  I generally hate EA and their yearly releases but this is so worth it.

This is pretty damn good for the peripheral. The flagship game isn't even out yet it managed to sell a lot of units by its own. Hopefully this reaches numbers high enough that the rest of the games exclusively use MP.

Makes you wonder what the totals will be after Resort has been out a few weeks. Think it'll break a million M+ units before the end of Summer?

Oh yes definitely. I expect Wii Sports Resort to be an even bigger seller in North America than it was in Japan.

And didn't it sell like 800k or some ridiculously large number there?

No. It's a little over 600k after 3 weeks right now.

Can someone just clarify this for me:

Will Motion+ be available seperately once WiiSports: Resort ships?
Title: Re: Wii MotionPlus Totals 374k in June Sales
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 20, 2009, 07:43:33 PM
I think its available separately since TW10 & GST shipped.

Really? I haven't noticed it anywhere. Perhaps the stocks just sold out in preperation..

I was reading on Digg and some people were complaining about the M+ being sold out.

Yeah it was supposed to be on sale either June 8 or Jun 15.  Tiger was originally set for release on the 15th but got moved up to the 8th, and I can't remember which date M+ shared with it.

But if you want two... buy Tiger and Wii Sports this weekend.  ;D

How did you get into this mess?

I picked up Tiger Woods 10 last night and played it for a bit.  It works as advertised, but god my golf swing sucks.  Hoping to improve that.  Seemed no matter what I did, even on tiny swings, I was having major problems with draw and fade.

Wanna know how I deal with draw and fade? Well good cause I was gonna tell you anyway,

Get into your stance, and pay attention inf your draw/fade marker is straight up or not.
If its tilted one way or another, slightly twist your body in the opposite direction till its straight.

If found out that helps alot when every shot seemed to be off.

Working nearly 50hrs a week, steady girlfriend of over 2 years, and spending the little bit of free time i do get (to myself) doing chores/making meals and relaxing in bed/comfy couch and not moving a fucking muscle to try and recoup for the next round of Real LifeTM

Sounds like making adjustments for actions in real-life.  Not sure if gamers are familiar with that territory.

Miyamoto has to at least realistically consider M+'s inclusion in the next Zelda now.

He already was. I'm pretty sure he said that Zelda would use the M+ and wouldn't come out until he did find a good use for it in the game.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot.  I played another 18 holes last night and found that I was getting considerably better at hitting it straight.   It's still pretty difficult to nail though.  It's so disorienting to go from a on-screen meter where you know how hard you're hitting it before you let go of the button, to a completely off-screen method where the only indicator is how you swing.

First of all, fixed your mis-quote. Secondly, I might not end up getting ANY games now because I saw a sweet Bass on Ebay that I've always wanted, and i have the $700 to blow on it, so...

 :-\

If anything,I'll still definately get WiiSports: Resort so i can finally get my hands on Lotion Puss. Can't wait!

I guess if it both talks and sings you're right, but for that price it should either be made of solid gold or be sentient (or possibly both, it is eBay so it's probably slightly used and you should be getting a good deal).
