Wii Play™, a collection of nine mini-games, has now sold more than 10 million units in the United States alone since its debut in February 2007, according to figures released today by the independent NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. Wii Play, now the top-selling software on all consoles and portable systems in the United States, comes packaged with a Wii Remote™ controller.
“Wii Play mini-games are fun and they get people playing together,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Even if you believe people are buying Wii Play solely for the controller, that indicates that there are now more than 10 million people who have an extra Wii Remote controller in their homes. When added to the 12.7 million Wii Remote controllers that have sold separately, this reinforces the growing ‘social gaming’ trend we have been seeing where friends and family use their Wii games as a social hub – both in person and online.”
We have two Track Packs for Guitar Hero World Tour available for download today. The second Jimi Hendrix Track Pack features “Foxey Lady” (live from Woodstock), “Freedom” and “Angel” and is available today for PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360.

Also, starting tomorrow, the Vault DLC Tournament will be giving community members the opportunity to win a limited edition Jimi Hendrix Guitar Hero World Tour guitar controller faceplate. This faceplate is a replica of the guitar Jimi Hendrix used at the Monterey Pops Festival, where he famously set his guitar on fire. Not only will the top five finishers in each tournament division win the faceplate, but 100 random prize winners will take one home as well!
