I've been following this for awhile. Nintendo has long been on pace to have 20 ten-million-selling games between their two current consoles, but now the goal is within site, with enough games announced to potentially reach 20 total.
Already there are 12 games which have sold ten million.
Wii Sports - 45.07m
Wii Play - 23.31m
Nintendogs - 22.39m
Wii Fit - 19.53m
New Super Mario Bros. - 18.67m
Brain Age - 17.42m
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - 16.82m
Mario Kart Wii - 15.89m
Mario Kart DS - 14.99m
Brain Age 2 - 13.76m
Mario and Sonic Olympics - 11.12m (6.93m Wii, 4.19m DS)
Animal Crossing: Wild World 10.81m
There are 4 more already-released games with a solid chance.
Super Smash Bros Brawl - 8.43m
Super Mario Galaxy - 7.95m
Super Mario 64 DS - 7.51m
Mario Party 8 - 6.54m
And there are 4 more announced games with a solid chance.
Wii Sports Resort
Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
Mario and Sonic Winter Olympics
Wii Fit Plus
I'm not predicting all these games will make it, but this is the first time the list of potential ten-million sellers has reached 20 concrete, non-laughable entries. What a milestone this would be.
And this is despite the failure of Wii Music and Animal Crossing: City Folk, which I thought would be needed.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
