Wii Play - 10 million sold

by

wiiplay.jpg Wii Play - which is a nine mini games - reaches an impressive milestone. The game has sold 10 million units in the United States. Wii Play was released in February 2007. Wii Play is now the top selling software game for consoles and portable systems in the United States.

One of the reasons that so many Wii owners buy Wii Play is because the game comes with a Wiimote. So it’s a good way to get a game and another Wiimote for around $50. Wii Play is a fun game and is a wonderful introduction into playing games on the Wii. Each Wii Play game teaches you a different technique using the Wiimote. Players can use their Miis in each game.

The nine games include billiards, shooting range, and my personal favorite, Charge! Wii Play is for 1-2 players and is rated E for Everyone.

    I really think the only reason it has sold so many copies is the Wii remote included. I know when it first came out it was pretty much the only way to obtain a Wii remote, as the Wii remotes did not ever seem to be in stock on their own. Plus, I remember getting it on sale for the price of a Wii remote. The mini games are kind of fun, but the game certainly would not sell anywhere near as well without the Wii remote in the equation.
