Wii hardware sales are up and Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports Resort take the second and fourth spots in software sales.
The October NPD sales data show that the Wii has once again reclaimed the number one spot in hardware sales, with the DS following behind.
The Wii managed to sell 506,900 units, while the DS moved 457,600 units. The recent price drop, as well as a strong software lineup, helped the console regain its sales strength after a few months of slow sales. In September, the Wii was the third best selling console at 462,800 units, putting it behind the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS.
Wii Fit Plus saw an impressive debut, coming in at number two behind Sony's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves for the PlayStation 3. The update to the best selling Wii Fit sold 441,000 copies, including both the standalone version and the $100 Balance Board bundle.
Wii Sports Resort appeared at number four with 314,000 copies sold, and the lone DS title in the top 10, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, came in at number nine with 169,000 copies sold.
