5 million Wiis sold in Japan, all your (install) base are belong to us

aybabtu.pngA company called EnterBrain has pulled together their sales data and reached a staggering conclusion: the Wii has sold 5,019,337 units since it launched in Japan.

That’s a pretty huge install base after a year and a bit on sale, and that’s without considering the continuing drama over erratic supply.

EnterBrain has also listed the top 5 best-selling Wii games to date, which are (drumroll please):

  1. Wii Sports (02/12/06) 2,663,938
  2. Wii Play (02/12/06) 2,139,084
  3. Mario Party 8 (26/07/07) 1,153,648
  4. Wii Fit (01/12/07) 1,113,626
  5. Super Mario Galaxy (01/11/07) 843,961

Once again, it’s sad to note the execrable sales performance of Super Mario Galaxy in its homeland. It seems the Japanese would rather prance about on a balance board and throw some shapes, a troubling sign of the times we live in.
