Only a few days after Sony celebrated the milestone of shipping 1 million PlayStation Move controllers in North America, the big N has responded with sales figures of their own. Citing NPD data, Nintendo proclaims that the Wii Remote has shifted a whopping 65.3 million units to date — across the U.S. alone. At an average rate, that’s 46,000 per day. Madness.

Obviously, it’s hardly a fair comparison, considering the Move only just made its entry in the motion space — but it sure puts things into perspective, making the competition seem like small potatoes to Nintendo.

“This demonstrates that Wii owners like to play and they like to play together,” says Nintendo, adding “They’re not the stereotypical gamers playing alone in their parents’ basement.”

Of the 65.3 million tally, how many Wii Remote controllers were purchased in bundles or separately, you ask? NPD has given a categorical breakdown:

30.41 million included with the Wii hardware
12.92 million sold with Wii Play™
18.56 million white versions sold separately
2.44 million black versions sold separately
467,500 pink versions sold separately
465,200 blue versions sold separately

Additionally, Nintendo has sold 52.9 million Nunchuck attachments through the end of September. The company will release souped-up version of its Wii Remote controller next month on November 7, aptly dubbed Wii Remote Plus, which adds built-in MotionPlus functionality.
