European gamers are always going on about how US and Japanese companies always screw them over. Whether it be prices, later release dates, or games happening to use a word which is surprisingly offensive in England, it happens all too often. Well, Europe, you can’t complain any more, because you guys have bought 6 million Wiis. That’s right: Europe has purchased more Wiis than Japan. Software-wise, Wii Play is the big winner with 2.3 million units moved, while Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess have both sailed away with 1.3 million. Mario Party takes up a close fourth, having sold a pathetic 1 million. Get your head together, Mario Party, or you’re being left behind!
If that wasn’t enough for you, approximately 20 million DSs have been sold in Europe, along with roughly 8 million copies of the two Brain Training games. Oh, and another 8 million copies of Nintendogs.
Now that we know how many Wiis and DSs have found their way in Euro gamer hands, I propose we figure out how many of them are actively being played.
