Wii Sports Resort sales data, much like the original game, will most likely be tracked for a long time to come. But how did the title perform on opening day in Japan? According to Japanese website Ameblo, the game sold 150,000 copies. Roughly 40% of the initial shipment was sold, though the title still has a strong chance of selling more than 300,000 units by the end of the week. While Wii Sports Resort was not able to sell more than Wii Fit in its opening day, it did perform better than Wii Music and the first Wii Sports title (based on data over a two day period). We’ll be posting more first day sales data shortly.

These words from Red Steel 2 creative director Jason Vandenberghe:

“Being Wii Motionplus exclusive, we really needed the information in the Wii MotionPlus, it’s an amazing device. With the gyroscope we always know which way the Wii remote is pointing. We’re trying to make a game that is the best reason to have a Wii MotionPlus, and really pays off with that experience.”

I can definitely see where Ubisoft is coming from saying this, because Red Steel 2 looks really great so far. I’m hoping that this is the case, because if it is, Red Steel 2 is guaranteed to be one of the number one reasons to own a Wii.

“There will be excellent awareness of the G-Force property this summer with the launch of the action-packed Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures theatrical release. We are positive about G-Force because whilst benefiting from this buzz, the game features a wealth of additional exclusive missions, enemies and gadgets that means the gameplay stands alone and the player can extend their film experience.” – product manager James Thornaby

I’ve read a few previews of the game, and many of them say the game isn’t too shabby. Perhaps it’ll surprise us?
