Nintendo's Wii Sports Resort Hits Million in UK

The latest ELSPA sales awards for December, 2009 have been released, showing Wii Sports Resort has passed the million mark in the UK market alone. The awards below merely consist of games that passed one of the five milestones during the month of December. For instance, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox 360 is not listed because it already passed the Diamond award mark in November's round-up. Surprisingly, given how much it has been advertised, Rhythm Paradise has only just passed 100,000 sales, whilst The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has finally crept passed 300,000 sales since release. Also, despite SEGA's recent comments about sales of Wii mature games being disappointing, House of the Dead: Overkill has now sold more than 100,000 in the UK alone, which for such a niche genre is very impressive. Super Mario Galaxy finally gets a boost that pushes it passed Double-Platinum status, along with THQ's Big Beach Sports and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, whilst Wii Sports Resort has now become a million-seller in the UK alone.
