After its first four days on sale in Japan, Nintendo's
Wii Sports Resort, which is bundled with the Wii Motion Plus peripheral, has become one of that region's fastest-selling Wii titles to date.
Its more than 353,000 units sold put it at a somewhat distant third to the two best-selling-in-four-days Wii titles, fellow first party releases
Super Smash Bros. Brawl and
Mario Kart Wii, according to
a Famitsu report.
According to the magazine/website's notes surrounding
Sports Resorts's debut at a relatively inexpensive 4800 yen ($49.80),
Super Smash Bros. Brawl moved 816,000 units in Japan in that same space of time after its January 2008 debut, while
Mario Kart Wii managed to sell 608,000.
However, neither of these two titles is among the top three best-selling Wii games in Japan of all time, despite having been fastest out of the gate.
The original
Wii Sports and
Wii Fit have each sold well over 3 million units to date. Unlike in the West,
Wii Sports was not packed into consoles in Japan.
