Nintendo has announced that in May its Wii console sold 289,000 units, enough to see the life-to-date sales for the system move past the 20 million milestone in the US. The Wii has been on sale in the US for just over 31 months.
The Nintendo DS also continues to perform well in the US, helped by new sales momentum brought about by the recent launch of the Nintendo DSi. According to the NPD Group, the DSi sold nearly 390,000 units in May, while the DS moved 244,000 units. Life-to-date sales for the Nintendo DS franchise in the US stand at more than 31 million units.
“The continued enthusiastic consumer response to our products shows that Nintendo has something for everyone,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “For Nintendo, precision motion controls and social gaming are realities today. Upcoming games like Wii Sports Resort, launching at the end of July, and Wii Fit Plus and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, coming this fall and holiday, will give consumers even more amazing experiences to enjoy.”
