Super Mario Galaxy 2 passes 1 million in the US
Nintendo pleased with customer support as preparation for "remarkable" software slate continues
Nintendo has revealed that Super Mario Galaxy 2, the latest Wii game to feature the legendary plumber, has now passed 1 million in sales.
The news comes as NPD releases figures for June, when the game sold 548,000 - while the company's hardware accounted for half of all console or handheld sales in the territory during the month.
"Consumers continue to look to Nintendo for exceptional value and one-of-a-kind gaming experiences," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive VP of sales and marketing. "Between games like Super Mario Galaxy 2, the pioneering motion controls of the Wii system and the portable fun of Nintendo DS systems, Nintendo offers something for everyone."
Dunaway went on to thank consumers for their ongoing support, and talked up the company's forthcoming software line-up as "remarkable" heading through to the end of 2010.
