Wii Sells 3 million in US During The Holidays Says Nintendo

[TheSource]

NPD had DS at 3,040,000 in December 2008.

That was before the DSi, so it was $130 * 3,040,000 roughly. Wii did 2,150,000 in the USA * $250

Basically, the revenue for both Wii and DS should go up...

 

                 December 2009                        December 2008

Wii           $600m+ (3m+ * $200)        $537.5m ($250 * 2.15m)

DS*         ~$420m (~2.8m * $150)     $395.2m ($130 * 3.04m)

 

I'm assuming 1.4m DS Lite and 1.4m DSi sold since Nintendo's press release said:

1) Wii topped 3m in the USA in December.

2) DS hit record figures for a calendar year.

3) Nintendo didn't say DS topped Wii - so it is likely DS sold less than Wii.

4) Based on 2-3, ~2.4m > DS > ~3.0m, since Wii got to 10.16m in the USA in 2008 - the all time record.

4) DS Lite is cheaper, but DSi is new.
