Ó
With another year full of gaming highlights behind us, Nintendo has revealed the sales report on its two top-selling gaming platforms for 2007. Based on new data from the NPD Group, it was found that the Nintendo DS and Wii ranked as the top two best-selling systems in the United States.The Nintendo DS handheld topped the charts with nearly 8.5 million units sold, with more than four million sold by the end of the year. On the other hand, Wii placed second with 6.3 million units sold during the year, 2.3 million of which were sold in November and December alone.
Some of the most notable titles of the year also came from Nintendo's handheld platforms. Of the top 30 best-selling portable games sold in 2007, 25 were made for Nintendo DS and another two were made for Game Boy Advance.
Specific game titles sold commendable numbers as well. Included in the list are Wii Play (4.1 million copies), Super Mario Galaxy (2.5 million copies), and Brain Age (1 million copies).
As a whole, the company enjoyed enormous growth from the video game industry; with Nintendo earning at least 60 percent of the growth to the industry in the past year. Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing was happy to announce the following:
By the end of 2007 we were sold out of virtually all hardware, and much of our stock of software and accessories was sold out as well, thanks to the broad appeal of Wii and Nintendo DS to core gamers, women, families, grandparents – and seemingly everyone in between. And that momentum continues here in the early weeks of 2008.

"core gamers, women, families, grandparents – and seemingly everyone in between" except to dumb fanboys like mcs
What's the vice president of sales and marketing supposed to say?
"While research has shown most Wii owners only own 1 or 2 games and only play it a couple hours a week at most, the extremely young or extremely old age group that somehow likes our poor value recycled parts console does find some appeal to it."
For 2007, the figure that matters, (software sales,) the XBOX 360 easily has everyone beaten. Hardware sales are behind by only a narrow margin.
Come what may. If the wii gets the spotlight,, Fine, I enjoy the wii. If the 360 gets that light. Fine, I enjoy the 360. They are both fine machines. Im just happy all those ps3 fanboys are having to eath their words on the giant george forman neat grill they bought.
Nothing make me happier then seeing the ps3 fail.
Go everything else!! Boo ps3!!!
