For the nine-month period that ended December 31, Nintendo is reporting sales revenue of $12.4 billion. I can't find any specific numbers for Q4 of FY2007, but based on their FY revenue of $8.09 billion and the fact that the Wii didn't launch until Q3 of that FY, let's throw in a reasonably conservative guess of $1.6 billion.
That means that in the calendar year 2007, Nintendo's total sales revenue was approximately $14 billion.
The entire US video game industry had a total sales revenue just shy of $18 billion (not counting PC and online revenue).
That means that Nintendo, a single company, had sales revenue at a level of 77% of the ENTIRE US video game market in the past year. Sure, that includes all the regions Nintendo publishes in, but that makes this amount no less incredible.
To reiterate: Nintendo's revenue levels, for a company that is almost entirely based around video games, are completely insane.
That is all.
