Nintendo Lists Recent Million-Selling Wii, DS Games; 90% of Wii Owners Have Wii Sports

Along with its upcoming release schedule, Nintendo financial documents released today included lifetime sales data on 26 of its million-selling releases for Wii and Nintendo DS.

Wii Sports topped the chart, with a staggering 40.5 million copies sold around the world.

This figure, of course, includes the many copies bundled with Wii systems in North America and Europe. However, Wii Sports is sold separately in Japan. So of the 44.96 million Wiis sold worldwide, only 4.46 million--roughly 10%--are without Wii Sports.

For reference, Nintendo has sold 7.5 million Wiis in Japan since launch.

The list lacks a number of Wii games known to have sold well over one million units, including The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime 3, as it only includes Nintendo games that have sold an additional million units since April 2008.
