Nintendo hardware dominated US retail console sales last month, with Wii and DS shifting over seven million units combined.
Wii was the month’s bestseller with 3.81 million units sold, followed by DS with 3.31 million.
PS3 sales of 1.36 million – a monthly record for the system – bettered Xbox 360’s by just 50,000.
PSP sales came in at 654,000, almost double the total achieved by PS2.
Monthly hardware revenues were up 16 per cent year-on-year to $2.19 billion.
Wii - 3.81 million
DS - 3.31 million
PS3 - 1.36 million
360 - 1.31 million
PSP - 654.7K
PS2 – 333K
The Wii has hit another level. All those analysts are eating their words now, just as Iwata said. You know analysts know shit as compared to Managers. When you know your customers well and your own company and bring out games such as NSMB and time your price-cuts and marketing perfectly everything can work out. The Wii number is testament to the fact that it is on its own playing field. They are just tapping into a massive market that the PS3 and 360 are no-where near. It could take years for Sony and Microsoft to catch up to the Nintendo (although Sony have just about managed it in Japan). Wand/Gem and Natal better work for them.
