The Wii hit 20 million in the U.S. with just 31 months on sale, making it, according to Nintendo, the fastest selling console in U.S. history. “The continued enthusiastic consumer response to our products shows that Nintendo has something for everyone,” gloated Nintendo of America executive vice president of sales and marketing Cammie Dunaway. “For Nintendo, precision motion controls and social gaming are realities today.”
That last line is an interesting choice of words, as it is clearly in response to the new motion controls revealed by both Sony and Microsoft at E3 last week. It’s a slightly more combative tone than simply being flattered by imitation, no?
