Nintendo Sells 30 Million Wii Game Consoles in 45 Months!
Nintendo’s internal sales figures show that the Wii video game system has now sold 30 million units in the United States alone. This significant milestone was reached in just 45 months. This further establishes Wii as the fastest-selling console in the history of the industry, reaching this milestone 15 months faster than the next best-selling console. The Wii video game system is now available in either black or white at a suggested retail price of $199.99 and includes two engaging games, Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, as well as the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers and a Wii MotionPlus accessory!
Wii launched in November 2006 and ushered in a new era of video games. The built-in motion controls of the iconic Wii Remote controller drew millions of new players to the world of video games. Kids started playing with their parents and grandparents, people got up off the couch and got active, and seniors and baby boomers formed virtual bowling leagues. “More than any other video game system in history, Wii has expanded the world of video games to new audiences,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “This milestone is another reminder that people want fun games they can play with others all at a value-minded price.”
