I am not, I am shocked that it's at almost 2 million in less than a month though.

So this is the only headliner Motion Plus game this year?

Motion Plus dies as soon as it began.  Does this/will this carry momentum?

What do you mean? There's THIS masterpiece coming up!

But it seems Nintendo severely underestimated MotionPlus. With these sale numbers as well as sales of the unit itself there are plenty of users with at least one MotionPlus unit in each region. So why not make more games with MP support?

In June MotionPlus sold around 300 to 400 K units, part of those numbers came from the Tiger Woods bundle. So with the Resort numbers there's a lot of MP units out there.

I was referring to Europe where it was bundled with GST and now WSR.

Ah. I would have to ask our UK correspondent and see if there is any sales date from there.
