The Nintendo DS was the best selling console of the month with 2.5 million units have been purchased by consumers. Moreover, despite the launch of the Move and Kinect, the flagship Nintendo still seems the preferred choice of those looking for a gaming experience based on motion control: 2.3 million Wii sold in December to allow Nintendo to overcome Microsoft ( 1.9 million Xbox 360 in December in the U.S.), and possibly Sony, whose hardware data have not been disclosed.Overall, the United States has sold 47 million Nintendo DS and 34 million Wii. "Over the past five years, Nintendo has sold more consoles than anyone else," says NPD's Charlie Scibetta commenting, "More than half of 250 million consoles sold in the United States over the past ten years have branded Nintendo.
We look forward to bringing consumers the innovative experience of 3DS. Three Wii games ended the month in the top ten U.S. software in December: Just Dance 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns and Epic Mickey. More than half of the 25 best-selling games in the United States in 2010 are for Wii and DS.
