Hail to the king. Yesterday, the Financial Times reported that the Wii is now the number one selling console in the world. This month the hardware sales stay steady with the Wii selling 403,600 units, and the Nintendo DS close behind with 383,200 units. That means in its lifetime the Nintendo Wii has sold 4 million units in the US, while the Nintendo DS has sold 12.7 million units.
Nintendo is also moving software at a brisk rate: Wii Play continues to sell amazingly well and takes the number five slot in software sales this month, while Metroid Prime 3: Corruption holds the number six slot, Mario Strikers: Charged has the number seven slot, and Mario Party 8 holds the number nine slot. It's good to be Nintendo. It has the two best-selling systems, and four of the top ten software slots for the month not only being held by games for their system, but by first-party games exclusively. It's hard to say how the company could possibly be more successful.
Anyone?
