[Fils-Aime said that nearly half of all Nintendo hardware sales for last year came in the last two months of 2009. "For everyone else that number was just over 40 percent," he added]
"nearly half" implies 45-50%
"just over" implies 40-45%
That's not a huge range of variation! In other words, everyone sells roughly the same percentage of their annual sales in those two months!
Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how Nintendo does this year, with two saturated markets and a mobile userbase which is potentially waiting for the 3DS (and depending on who you believe, may well be migrating over to the iDevice world)...

Tease.
