Nintendo still selling units like mad...

[Rob Williams]

Ars Technica is reporting on new data released from the NPD Group, and I have to say, Nintendo really knows how to sell a lot of product.

Nintendo Wii: 425,000
Nintendo DS: 405,000
Xbox 360: 170,000
Playstation 3: 159,000

It blows me away that both consoles I dislike (Wii/DS) are selling THAT well. The DS has been out for almost three full years, and they still manage to sell over 400,000 units a month. Absolutely staggering, really.

I was blown away the other day when I saw a stack of Wii consoles in my local supermarket (it's massive, has a GameStop in it).
I haven't seen a console for sale in months.

look at the all time charts... Lol.

DS is 790,000 > Xbox360 + PSP + PS3 + Wii.



There are also some interesting numbers when you look at the Jap vs US sales these days. Maybe that is why there is a gaining and growing focus on ports to the US these days?

What I'm curious about is what they're gonna do with all the factories when they don't need production to be so high...

We've still got a ton where I live, most of the gaming stores are well-stocked. My wife and I are in a heated debate over whether a Wii or a computer upgrade is in store for the holiday season (I'm a PC gamer, but she's a huge Mario Party / Talisman fan).
