Timeline (last 90 days)
Wii Sports is Nintendo's best-selling software title of all time, with global sales exceeding 82 million copies.
Wii Sports launched in 2006 alongside the Wii and includes five events: tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing.
Wii Sports' success did not rely on graphics or story but on capturing the intuition of "motion as input": swinging a racket, pitching a ball, throwing a punch and other motions need no tutorial—anyone can understand them just by picking up the controller.
After years of marginalization of motion games, attempts such as VR fitness and mobile AR sports each had their highlights, but none could replicate the "living-room social" magic of Wii Sports.
