Press Release
Nintendo's internal sales figures show that the Wii™ video game system has now sold 30 million units in the United States alone. This significant milestone was reached in just 45 months. This further establishes Wii as the fastest-selling console in the history of the industry, reaching this milestone 15 months faster than the next best-selling console.
Wii launched in November 2006 and ushered in a new era of video games. The built-in motion controls of the iconic Wii Remote™ controller drew millions of new players to the world of video games. Kids started playing with their parents and grandparents, people got up off the couch and got active, and seniors and baby boomers formed virtual bowling leagues.
"More than any other video game system in history, Wii has expanded the world of video games to new audiences," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "This milestone is another reminder that people want fun games they can play with others – all at a value-minded price."
To continue building on this foundation, Wii has a strong slate of games on the way for the fall. These include Metroid™: Other M on Aug. 31, Samurai Warriors™ 3 on Sept. 27, Kirby's Epic Yarn™ and Wii Party™ this fall, and Donkey Kong Country™ Returns, FlingSmash™ andPokéPark™ Wii: Pikachu's Adventure for the holidays. That's in addition to New Carnival Games®from 2K Play in September, NBA JAM from EA Sports in October, GoldenEye 007™ from Activision and Just Dance® 2 from Ubisoft this fall, and Disney Epic Mickey from Disney Interactive Studios and Sonic Colors™ from SEGA during the holidays.
The Wii video game system is now available in either black or white at a suggested retail price of $199.99. That price offers a great value to consumers, as it includes two engaging games,Wii Sports™ and Wii Sports Resort™, as well as the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers and a Wii MotionPlus™ accessory, which brings additional precision to specially designed games.
The 30 million milestone is a good time to look back at all the fun Wii games and experiences that are just not possible on any other system. One of the unique features of the Wii platform is that many games follow an evergreen sales trend that keep them selling over long periods of time.
According to the independent NPD Group, the top 10 best-selling Nintendo-published Wii games in the United States (through the end of June) are:
1. Wii Play™
2. Mario Kart™ Wii
3. Wii Fit™ (with Wii Balance Board™ accessory)
4. New Super Mario Bros.™ Wii
5. Wii Sports Resort
6. Super Smash Bros.™ Brawl
7. Super Mario Galaxy™
8. Wii Fit™ Plus (with Wii Balance Board™ accessory)
9. Mario Party™ 8
10. Link's Crossbow Training
According to the independent NPD Group, the top 10 best-selling Wii games from third-party publishers in the United States (through the end of June) are:
1. Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock from Activision

United Front Games Announce ModNation Racers Patch 1.03 Is Coming Today
United Front Games have announced that Patch 1.03 is coming out today for ModNation Racers. this patch aims to fix the XP Races and XP Series issues that came about from patch 1.02.
United Front have also released some background information for ModNation Racers. Patch 1.02 added and fixed many things in the game, but one of the more argued things was load times. i have reported on a few sites saying contradictory things on how much load times improved with the patch. Their main focus was on reducing the load times in Career Races and Online Races, as well as reducing loading times around Career Central. but United Front Games point out that there are reasons why the game has fairly large load times and its mainly due to the amount of data each track and kart use and we may not see further improvement to load times because of it.
