Nintendo Moves 1.5 Million Hardware Units Black Friday Week
Surprisingly, Black Friday sales have evidenced that there are still a handful of people in the U.S. who don’t own a Nintendo DS or Wii. And when we say a handful, we mean 1.5 million people.
According to internal estimates, Nintendo sold 900,000 DS units and 600,000 Wii units the week of November 21-27. New bundles celebrating the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. undoubtedly helped to bolster sales.

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.
