Wow! That's about as much as Mario Galaxy sold in it's first week. Thoughts?

Not as much as I thought it would be, but it's still a ungodly amount of sells.

Of course anything with Wii in the title is going to sell well, that is all the majority of Wii owners know.

Gamespot said it was good too, awarding it an 8.0

Woah there pokey, this isn't like a DQ or Halo title here, this is like, "I'll sell 500k copies every month until the end of time" type game :P Seeriously though, they threw a Island party in Time Square, what more could you want, taking over the world :o

Ah, I know that's for sure -- but I was still expected more considering all the buzz around the first Wii Sports. Hell, that was the MAIN reason my girlfriend wanted a darn Wii was for Wii Sports. In fact, funny enough -- I play on the Wii more than her now. What a valuable use of my money. I could have bought a nice PC part with that money. :P

Considering the first was bundled with the system, its a well known name..we'll see but that seems low considering 50 million + have the first..and since this was "so good" according to reviewers ..

It was inevitable. People who don't really enjoy gaming get bored of the wii relatively quickly lol. Atleast you somewhat use it. What are playing? And meh, you play enough PC games, atleast buy a bluray play........I mean PS3 :P

wiisports is a force. I'm sure wiisports will continue to sell with consistency. I would almost give the original wiisports credit for sparking the wii's success. It has so much broad appeal and its games are synonomous with the wii

Dude, it sold as much as freakin' Mario Galaxy in the first week! Nintendo's games have pretty much proven to sell over time, and not all in the first couple of weeks like GTA. Expect this one to hover around the top of the sales charts for a LONG time...

It's the closest golf game you can get which is close to the real thing. My girlfriend laughs at me when I'm playing because I take it seriously. (the swinging aspect and what-not).

Resident Evil was a fantastic game, though very frustrating for me (I died, in all, over 65 times LOL). I finally decided I'd finish it and return it back in to Gamefly, so I played it for eight hours straight and finally finished it. If I see it in the bargain bin, I'll pick it up because I'd gladly play through it again. I can't imagine playing through that game without the Wiimote... god, how horrible that'd be. :o

Disappointed.

Great game, I will buy it but I'm utterly disappointed. I expected over 1 million seeing how the ORIGINAL Wii Sports was such a huge hit itself.

If this was a terrible casual title I would be sad, but this is a quality fun party game therefore I am glad it sold so well.

Game is utter garbage. REview sites must hold lower standards for the Wii cause WSR is just a bunch of unfinished, unpolished mini games that hold no SP replayable value what-so-ever. Games deserves no more then a 5 and that's being generous.
