Its that time of the year where companies start rolling out their financial statements.

First up with a pretty picture, Nintendo

I wish MS had the same sense of humor.

But I'm almost certain Nintendo is just finding it hard to say they are winning in words.

So, much, money. Gods, I don't know how they keep themselves straight over there at Nintendo. Where does that $2.5 billion go to?

That's the thing people have always worried, I mean sure some of it goes towards game development and hardware upgrades, but seriously, the profits of a single one of their title could probably fund the development of the company for a year.

And as far as I know, in 25 years, Nintendo has only posted a loss one quarter ever so its not like they don't have a war chest of money.

Anyhow, some more numbers from Nintendo.

Nintendogs managed to sell yet another million last year, bringing it to 23, despite having released 5 years ago.
NSMB DS sold another 4 million last year bringing it to 22.5.
Brain Age sold another 1.3 million last year bringing it to 18.7.
Mario Kart DS sold another 3.3 mill last year bringing it to 17.9.

None of those were released last year, and some have been out for years like Nintendogs.

Mario Kart Wii sold another 7 mill bringing it to 22.5. Remember when people were predicting it would outsell GTA4 on all platforms combined? Well its slammed right by and continued off into the sunset.
Wii Sports Resort passes 16.
NSMB Wii has already hit 14.7, and does not appear to be slowing down. If it keeps it up it can catch up to the combined platforms of MW2.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl sells another mill to bring it to 9.5
Link's Crossbow sells another mill to bring it to 4.8



I know people like to focus on Nintendo's "casual" titles, but I honestly forgot about Smash Bros and didn't know it sold that much. It is slowly closing in on one of the 20 best selling games of all-time.

Even though Reggie may have lost the bet, NSMBW is close to or has already outsold both versions of MW 2 combined, worldwide.

NSMB: 22.49 million
MKDS: 17.90 million
Brain Training: 18.72 milllion
Nintendogs: 23.26 million

Wii Sports: 63.46 million
Wii Sports Resort: 16.14 million
NSMB.Wii: 14.70 million
Wii Fit: 22.61 million
Wii Fit Plus: 12.65 million
Mario Kart Wii: 22.55 million
Wii Play: 27.38 million

I contributed to last year's million sales of Link's Crossbow Training. :) Couldn't resist it for €10, it turned out to be a great buy.

So interesting notes I guess, PS3 outsold the 360 last year both in terms of hardware and software sold.

And for the most part, the 360 remains a lead only because of the year headstart. Let's see where the cards fall this year
