The big N says it has sold an average of 46,000 Wii Remotes in the US every day since the system launched in November 2006, totalling 65.3 million units.
That's enough "for every man, woman and child living in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, San Jose, Detroit and San Francisco, Florida, Ohio, Virginia and North Dakota", the company says.
Here's the full breakdown of Wii Remote sales:
30.41 million included with the Wii hardware
12.92 million sold with Wii Play
18.56 million white versions sold separately
2.44 million black versions sold separately
467,500 pink versions sold separately
465,200 blue versions sold separately
In addition, Nintendo says it has sold 52.9 million Nunchuk controllers in the US.
The company said last week that the new Wii Remote Plus controller will launch in the States on November 7, alongside red, limited edition Wii and DSi XL bundles.
