To coincide with
today's NPD report, Nintendo announced that Ubisoft's
Just Dance 2 has surpassed 5 million sales at U.S. retail, making it the first third-party Wii title to reach this milestone in the history of the platform.
During July,
Just Dance 2 sold 120,000 units and reached the number five spot on the U.S. retail software sales charts.
Just Dance 2 is the eighth Wii game to surpass 5 million sales at U.S. retail -- other games to also hit this figure include the following Nintendo releases:
1)

2)
Mario Kart Wii (10.64 million units sold)

Last month, Ubisoft
first announced that
Just Dance 2 had become the top-selling third party title on the Wii. Estimates pointed to Sega's
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games as the previous leader for third-party sales.
