Nintendo Sales Reach Historic Figures During Black Friday
Nintendo has a lot to smile about this holiday season. The sales of both the Nintendo DS and Wii console have reached historic figures in the first week of the holiday shopping season. This includes more than 653,000 Nintendo DS, and 350,000 Wii throughout the United States.
The Nintendo DS set a new record for sales during the Thanksgiving week, surpassing the 600,000 Game Boy Advanced sales in 2005. Nintendo’s 350,000 Wii systems represent the highest one-week U.S. sales total outside of its launch week one year ago. “Wii has been dubbed the must-have gift of the 2007 holiday season and has been placed at the top of numerous gift lists”
“As shoppers look for ways to maximize their limited holiday spending money, they turn to gifts that can be used by the entire family,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “Wii and Nintendo DS offer something for every member of the family. They’re the most fun video game experiences at the most affordable price.”
