Nintendo Pleased With Holiday Sales
Although NPD sales figures for the holidays won’t be released until January 14, Nintendo is already labeling the holiday season a success based on its own calculations. The company believes the NPD Group will announce that more than 3 million Wii consoles were sold in December alone and that Nintendo DS and DSi sold a record number of units during 2009, topping that of any previous console or handheld system.
Nintendo also stated that New Super Mario Bros. Wii has been a smashing success, with an estimated 4 million sales in under the past two months. Will have the official NPD numbers later this month.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
