Selling like hotcakes
Nintendo Australia has released a few of the latest sales figures for the Nintendo DS and the Wii.
According to the lads at Ausgamers, the Nintendo DS has sold 988,168 units and the Wii has sold 293,990 units since the platforms debuted. It was announced a couple of weeks ago that Microsoft had sold 300,000 Xbox 360 consoles in Australia and New Zealand combined, but individual figures for each country were not revealed.
Software sales for the Wii are also impressive, with controller/game combo Wii Play selling 114,600, Super Mario Galaxy selling 54,079 and Mario Party 8 selling 52,530 units.
Plus, you can only expect sales to increase once Wii Fit and the hotly anticipated Super Smash Bros. Brawl (which has only just recently been pushed back to a March ‘08 release date) are finally released to the market.
