Nintendo has announced that Wii Sports Resort, the sequel to the title that comes packed in with the Wii console, has generated sales of over one million units in Europe during its first month on store shelves.

The game has also been a strong seller internationally, shifting over a million copies in both Japan and the US.

Nintendo of Europe also revealed that the Wii MotionPlus accessory has sold in excess of 936,000 units in Europe, in addition to those included with Wii Sports Resort.

Laurent Fischer, Managing Director, Marketing & PR, Nintendo of Europe, said: “The early sales figures represent a strong start for Wii Sports Resort, which is on its way to becoming another Nintendo title that sells steadily over an extended period of time as opposed to a single flash on its launch day. Combined with strong figures for Wii MotionPlus, the data suggests that more families and friends are playing together than ever before – which, for Nintendo, is a major objective.”
