Zelda Wii is at number five, even though we know next to nothing about the game. As the charts indicates though, many consumers are extremely hyped to buy the next game nonetheless. Galaxy 2’s spot, meanwhile, isn’t too surprising. After all, Mario is Mario! That title will sell for sure, although I have a feeling it won’t be as successful as New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Starting May 9, Wii Hardware Will Be Available in Black or White
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– A great value in video games is about to get even better. Starting May 9, Nintendo will add new elements to the baseline Wii™ system package offered at retailers throughout the Americas. In addition to the intuitive, motion-sensing Wii Remote™ controller, Nunchuk™ controller and popular Wii Sports™ game that currently comes standard with each system purchase, every new unit will now also come packaged with Wii Sports Resort™ and the control-enhancing Wii MotionPlus™ accessory. In addition, consumers will be able to choose between two color schemes for the Wii console and included controllers: original white, or a new black option. The U.S. suggested retail price of the new system package will remain at $199.99. Pricing outside the United States will be established by the local markets, but offer similar consumer value.
“Nintendo leads the way in delivering rich motion-control gaming experiences at an accessible price point,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “By including even more of our top-quality hardware and software in the basic Wii system package, we’re extending that commitment to entertainment and value. Now more than ever, consumers can count on Nintendo to deliver inclusive fun and advanced motion controls at a mass-market price.”
