When Nintendo first broke the news that they would be releasing a new expansion for their Wiimote, many people were wondering how would it sell. Two years later, the device finally was available in stores but only two games would utilize it during the launch. With the amount of games and the economic slowdown, some figured it would be difficult for Nintendo to sell the MotionPlus for the first month or so. Those predictions seemed a little off.

According to engadget, Nintendo has managed to sell 169,000 MotionPlus units with little or no advertising. And guess what? The numbers don’t reflect Tiger Woods 10, which sold about 272,400 and many of the ones moved came bundled with the MotionPlus. Not bad eh?

The best news for Nintendo might not be the amount of units sold, but the fact their flagship title which requires MotionPlus in order to play comes out this week. Of course we’re talking about Wii Sports Resorts.
