Sales of Nintendo's Wii Motion Plus device have already nearly cracked the million mark in just two weeks on sale in Japan.

Nintendo's Wii Sports Resort, bundle, has just passed the half million mark in Japan. On top of this, Media Create is reporting that a further 146,000 standalone devices were sold last week, bringing the peripheral's solo sales to 442,000. This number combined with the bundle sales brings an overall total of 956,000 unit sales, from less than two full weeks of release. Impressive.

Awesome, if it keeps up it might become the standard for future games. I still need to get one, but I probably won't until christmas.

This is only good news if developers make decent use of it. And I'm hoping they will, so cheers all around :)

Hopefully if it sells enough, Nintendo will start building it into Wii Remotes as standard.

Let's hope the momentum continues and it becomes the norm.  As soon as a game that I want has it, I am there.  So far, the sport games are not getting me there.

Just curious, how did Wii music sell in Japan? Anyone know off the top of their head?

It did something like 2.5 mil worldwide so probably not that great.

Wii Sports Resort is the third best selling Wii game there, in this time frame, under Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

I agree, I really don't like it when companies try to add on major components to their hardware after their hardware releases.

You get it with a game for the normal price of a game. Less than $50 on Amazon preorder. Big deal?

@Al3xand3r: I'm not complaining about the price at all. My problem with it is that it causes confusion in the main stream market.

Which is why the low price and good sales are a good thing. If all goes well, it'll be as standard as the Dual Shock became for the PlayStation.

Sweet, I hope it becomes the standard soon. I'll be picking up Resort pretty soon after it releases.

Also, the more people that buy it, the higher the chance the next Zelda will be using it :-)
