Nintendo’s Wii Play Surpasses 10 Million Units Sold in the United States
Wii Play™, a collection of nine mini-games, has now sold more than 10 million units in the United States alone since its debut in February 2007, according to figures released today by the independent NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. Wii Play, now the top-selling software on all consoles and portable systems in the United States, comes packaged with a Wii Remote™ controller.
“Wii Play mini-games are fun and they get people playing together,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Even if you believe people are buying Wii Play solely for the controller, that indicates that there are now more than 10 million people who have an extra Wii Remote controller in their homes. When added to the 12.7 million Wii Remote controllers that have sold separately, this reinforces the growing ‘social gaming’ trend we have been seeing where friends and family use their Wii games as a social hub – both in person and online.”

Nintendo to support a strong strategy for DSi applications
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment
A top-secret Nintendo Developer Conference was held in London. Sources which were fortunate enough to attend the event say that Nintendo has a plan to push developers in a way so that short applications (games/non-games) will be created for the DSi.
“Our team sees this as an exciting and major app strategy for the DSi…Nintendo is keen to have developers offering all kinds of software once the DSi store fully launches for access in Europe and America. Given the advanced functions in the DSi, such as the microphone and camera, the company told us that there are a variety of opportunities for a variety of apps, both in a games sense and a non-games sense, that we could offer.” – Developer sources
