Some said that the Nintendo Wii bubble had already burst, that the console would only go down and down, that Nintendo was beginning to despair, and that even the Nintendo DS market was over-saturated .
Well, it seems that Christmas has done the Japanese company phenomenally well in terms of sales since in one of the strongest markets it has managed to surpass the rest of the consoles together. Yes, as you are reading, this December Nintendo Wii and DS have sold more units than PS3, Xbox 360, PS2 and PSP combined. Did someone say crisis?
They say that the impressive success of ‘New Super Mario Bros. Wii’, which has already placed the scandalous figure of 2.8 million units in a month, launching it at the top of the sales scale at the video game level, and especially the reduction of price to which Nintendo subjected its console have been determining factors.
- Wii – 3,810,000
- Nintendo DS – 3,310,000
- PlayStation 3 – 1,360,000
- Xbox 360 – 1,310,000
- PSP – 654,700
- PlayStation 2 – 333,2000
Wii would have placed, according to the latest estimates, more than three million eight hundred thousand consoles and Nintendo DS one three million three hundred thousand. Total, that if we add everything together, they far exceed the three million six hundred thousand that all the others have sold combined. It is certainly excellent data for a company that, “supposedly”, was fully entering the bursting of its sales bubble
