I wish the numbers had been worldwide instead of US only, but this is good for what it is.

[udivision]

Link's Crossbow Training 3.47
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 2.82

Huh?

[A Black Falcon]

Link's Crossbow Training 3.47 Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 2.82 Huh?

Remember, the GC version of TP sold at least 950,000 in North America. Also, if you want a Zapper, you usually end up with a copy of Crossbow Training...

[Rocket Punch]

So doomed.

[Majine]

Only US. Snore.

[Boney]

chartz?

[Fantastical]

Link's Crossbow Training 3.47 Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 2.82 Huh?

The TP number is split between two versions.

Edit: Beaten.

[Emitan]

Is this including bundled games?

[Medalion]

So doomed.

d0000000mmmmeeedddddddd *scary shaky voice*

[Brandon F]

Link's Crossbow Training 3.47 Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 2.82 Huh?

A useless piece of plastic IS better than TP afterall...

[fernoca]

All Wii million Sellers in the US*

Good list overall.

[AniHawk]

Is this including bundled games?

no

[OnPoint]

Link's Crossbow Training 3.47 Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 2.82 Huh?

BRING THE SEQUEL ON!

[Fantastical]

Just Dance 2 is an absolute beast.

[Lyphen]

Really puts Call of Duty's sales into perspective. MW2 sitting at over 20 million, and Black Ops at 19 in just under a year. Yikes.

[DimmuBurgerKing]

Wii Music redeemed.

[Wibblewozzer]

Wii Fit with board, Wii Fit Plus with board, and Wii Fit Plus standalone combined top the list.

I'm not sure if Wii Fit Plus is like a true sequel or what it really contains but that's still pretty impressive.

[udivision]

22 of those games are third party, not including Mario & Sonic.

[Jaded Alyx]

Really puts Call of Duty's sales into perspective. MW2 sitting at over 20 million, and Black Ops at 19 in just under a year. Yikes.

...in the US?

[fernoca]

In what perspective? :p

The Call of Duty numbers are worldwide, across multiple platforms.

This numbers are one console, in one region.

[example: Wii Fit is at 22 million copies worldwide as of May 2010. And still, only on Wii]

[Moaradin]

[drspeedy]

Enlightening... No surprise at the Wii Play and Link's CB training, everything with a peripheral seemed to be a big seller early on. But uDraw is more recent (aka post-novelty), that one caught me by surprise a bit.

Poor sonic... Had to sell his furry blue soul to get any numbers on Wii... (Ok, ok, his games do suck nowadays, that counts, too)

[Alextended]

Aren't those worldwide numbers?

Nm, beaten.

Poor sonic... Had to sell his furry blue soul to get any numbers on Wii... (Ok, ok, his games do suck nowadays, that counts, too)

Pretty sure the Wii Sonic games sold well. Not everything under a million in the NPD is suddenly shit...

[inner-G]

Crossbow Training > TP?

WTF People!?

[drspeedy]

Wii Music redeemed.

Lolz. Right... That's a lot of coasters

[markot]

People bought uDraw >_<?

[Lyphen]

Even if we were to arbitrarily split Black Op's in half (since I don't know the WW split - and that's a generous split), 10 million in less than a year compared to 13 in 4 is impressive.

[Emitan]

Galaxy 2 sold half as much as Galaxy 1? No justice.

[TunaLover]

Capcom must be preparing Resident Evil 4 Wii U version.

[Jaded Alyx]

Crossbow Training > TP? WTF People!?

A lot of people bought TP on GameCube, plus Crossbow Training = Zapper

[Father_Brain]

Somehow, I thought Epic Mickey sold 1.3M in the December NPD. It can't have only done 100K since, can it?

[Why would you do that?]

I like Twilight Princess, but since I happen to really enjoy Crossbow Training, I'm happy. :)

Also, it doesn't take the Gamecube version into account.

[Jaded Alyx]

That's not a Wii.

[wrowa]

This thread needs a title change badly.

[robot]

Happy to see DKC Returns did so well - probably my favorite game on the system.

[Dash Kappei]

Super Mario Galaxy 4.38

Super Mario Galaxy2 2.4

:(

[Triton55]

Metroid Prime 3 didn't crack a million in the US?
:(

[A Black Falcon]

Metroid Prime 3 didn't crack a million in the US? :(

I wonder if 3 + Trilogy combined did, but who knows...

On that note though, given how expensive Trilogy is and that it's the only way to get US Wii versions of Metroid Prime 1 or 2, it's too bad that they won't re-release it.

[jett]

nm

[Mdk7]

i wish Red Steel 2 was there. :(

[Cow Mengde]

Crossbow Training > TP? WTF People!?

TP was a launch game. Chances are, the Wii install base when Crossbow Training came out would have been much much MUCH bigger.

[Dash Kappei]

This thread needs a title change badly.

This.

US numbers only.

[Ondore]

Twilight Princess was a launch game that went to $20 four months ago. Crossbow Training's been $20 since launch, and comes with the Zapper.

Problem solved.

[Mdk7]

BRING THE SEQUEL ON!

Yeah the lack of a sequel to Link's Crossbow Training is pretty absurd, given the sales of the original and the cost of its development (surely ridiculous).
My GF would be sooo happy to play a second one! :P

[Jaded Alyx]

Super Mario Galaxy 4.38 Super Mario Galaxy2 2.4 :(

Metroid Prime 3 didn't crack a million in the US? :(

Sounds about right.

Metroid doesn't sell. Never has. I kind of wonder why Nintendo persists with it. It makes little sense from a business perspective.

Yup.

[jambo]

121.82 M sales

nice

[shira]

Well I'm glad that all the profits went into R&D for financial stability for years to come

[fernoca]

Even if we were to arbitrarily split Black Op's in half (since I don't know the WW split - and that's a generous split), 10 million in less than a year compared to 13 in 4 is impressive.

Well, yeah is a good number. But kinda not related. :p

If you want to compare, for example:

-Mario Kart Wii did 15 million worldwide in 11 months, in just 1 platform (and one main SKU: game + wheel).
-Black Ops did 23 million* worldwide in 9 months, in 5 (retail) platforms (360, PS3, Wii, DS, PC), 1 hardware bundle (PS3 + game) and 3 SKUs (regular, hardened, prestige).
[Or 23 million worldwide in two platforms, 1 hardware bundle and 3 SKUs..according to Activision; check *]

Not saying BOs numbers are worse or anything; but still..the numbers in the main post are: US only and Wii only. If anything, it should be put in similar perspective (one console + one region)

[* Though, Activision said the 23 million number was from "HD sales"...so guess that doesn't include Wii and DS :p .. apparently doesn't include PC, neither. XD ]

[A Human Becoming]

Galaxy 2 sold half as much as Galaxy 1? No justice.

Seems fair considering Galaxy 2 was essentially Galaxy 1.5.
