Nintendo: 20 million Wii units, 64 million DS in the wild |
Ó
Despite the Wii shortage during the holiday season, Nintendo still managed to make a killing in the market. According to the latest financial report of the period from April to December, Nintendo's net sales have increased 84.7% compared to the year before.
Analyst Yuta Sakurai recently commented that Wii sales could reach 100 million worldwide. While this is certainly a possibility, it may not be enough to make the Wii the absolute king of gaming. It could be outsold by its own little brother: Nintendo's DS handheld.
According to the financial report, Nintendo has now sold 64.79 million DS units worldwide. 24.5 million of those units were sold in the nine months before December. One of the most popular games for the DS is The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.
As for the Wii, 20.13 million units have been sold worldwide. Some 14.29 million of those were sold in the nine months before December. The most popular games for the Wii include Wii Fit, Super Mario Galaxy and Mario Party 8.
Because of the tremendous success, Nintendo has raised its net sales forecast for the full year to YJP 1.63 trillion (US$ 15.27 billion).
