UK - Chart-Track numbers show slowing sales for Wii

July 2, 2009 by RawmeatCowboy Filed Under: DS, Wii, Nintendo in general, DSi

If these Chart-Track numbers are accurate, than the Wii has slowed down a considerable amount in the UK over the past 6 months. Can the Wii get a big boost from Wii Sports Resort?

Well duh, nothing really major has come out (to critical and commercial success) for awhile.

I really don't see how Wii Sports Resort is going to increase the amount of Wiis that are selling by a whole lot(me being an analyst...except I'm not paid for my stupid opinions)...the people that Wii Sports Resort is aimed at, are people that ALREADY OWN Wiis.

Now if Nintendo were to bundle Wii Sports Resort with the Wii and sell it for $250 or the equivalent, that may help...but I just don't see Wii Sports Resort being a WiiFit type of title that would get somebody to go out and buy the system for the game.

Heck, I own the system and I'm not interested in Wii Sports Resort.

Unless I'm reading this chart wrong, none of them have done that well in the past 6 months, don't single Wii out.

Oh but you should my friend, the game is a blast. Of course, it may get old after a while, like the original Wii Sports. But also like the original, I'm predicting this will be the best implementation of motion controls for a while... it just feels so nice and simple, like a Zen garden of gameplay.
