Nintendo Pays No Heed To Industry Pricing Shifts

Nintendo has recently released an in-your-face statement to the console gaming industry. In the last week, sales of the Nintendo Wii have surpassed the Xbox 360, and the Nintendo DS still continues to be one of the best selling gaming systems sold in the United States. Nintendo hardware outsells all other systems combined. The company contributes its success to a selection of great games that is growing with Nintendo’s momentum.

Nintendo Game Release Chart

Nintendo offers these points on why they are dominating the gaming industry today:

Nintendo remained the top U.S. game publisher for the sixth consecutive month.
So far this year, Nintendo titles claim six of the industry’s top 10 best sellers, including the top three: Pokemon® Diamond (overall No. 1) and Pokemon® Pearl (No. 3) for Nintendo DS, and Wii Play™ (No. 2) for Wii.
Nintendo DS, with more than 300 titles available, has the largest game library for any current generation system.
Wii has added new titles (averaging nine per month since launch) at a faster rate than any other new home system.
Including an ever-increasing library of classic titles available for download on the Wii Shop Channel, American owners of Nintendo DS and Wii will have a combined selection of nearly 800 games to choose from by year end.
Nintendo expects momentum for both systems to continue, given the Aug. 20 launch of Brain Age™ 2: More Training in Minutes a Day for Nintendo DS and the upcoming Aug. 27 launch of the hugely anticipated Metroid® Prime 3: Corruption for Wii.
