Congrats are in order to Nintendo: both Wii Sports and Wii Play (Hajimete no Wii) have sold in excess of one million copies in Japan. Having two million-sellers already trumps the Gamecube, on which only Super Smash Bros. Melee reached that particular milestone.We know that the bundled Wiimote had a lot to do with selling Wii Play, though of course the degree to which it contributed cannot be measured. It makes sense that the two most casual, inclusive games on the system would sell to a Japanese audience that loves DS training games. We hope you guys like minigames, because it's safe to assume we're getting lots more of them!

"Gasp! Krazy Ken we don't have that kind of money. No gamer does."
"My plan is so good you'll be willing to take a second job and a loan."
"Not so fast. Name Reggie kick ass take names making games blah blah blah. You'll never succeed!"

I think even without the Wiimote, WiiPlay would have sold very good in Japan.
