Nintendo has announced that Wii Sports Resort, launched in the US on July 26, has sold more than 500,000 units as of August 3, 2009 (according to Nintendo’s internal tracking).

“Through Monday we sold one copy of Wii Sports Resort roughly every 1.5 seconds continuously since it launched in the United States,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “This tells us consumers were eagerly waiting to get their hands on these fun activities, and it’s a great start for a game that will have long-lasting appeal.”

Wii Sports Resort features 12 activities, each designed to make use of the bundled Wii MotionPlus accessory.

The game launched in the UK on July 24 and has spent two weeks at the top of the video game chart.
