According to a report by analysts at Wedbush Securities (GamesIndustry street. Biz), May sales of Wii in the U.S. fell by 30% over the previous year, for a total of 236,000 units. The best-selling console in the month in question was the Xbox 360 with 270,000 copies (+39% compared to May 2010), while the PlayStation 3 has sold 175,000 units (+14%).
Analysts have not published the sales of the 3DS but stressed that the new handheld console, Nintendo has sold less than the 180,000 units planned for the third month (-50% from the previous month). Wedbush concludes his analysis of NPD in May, stressing the need to reinvigorate the market for Nintendo 3DS software with new games in the coming months such titles as Mario Kart, Super Mario 3DS, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, 3D, and Star Fox 64 Kid Icarus should revive the fortunes of the platform.
