In the US last month Sony did worst, Microsoft did well, Nintendo did the best - the DS and Wii were once again rampant.

As such, Nintendo's response to the results is full of cartoon rainbows and sunshine.

We're told that mere months before 3DS arrives, old and existing handheld the DS still managed to command a market-leading performance of 2.5 million sales.

And despite launches of both Move and Kinect, Nintendo's Wii - the motion-sensing console that started it all - showed those young-guns who's boss with 2.3 million sales (Xbox 360 sold a personal best of 1.9 million units, PS3 sales were unspecified).

In the US, in total, DS has sold 47 million units and the Wii 34 million.

"Nintendo has sold more game systems than anyone else for five years running," said Cammie Dunaway replacement Charlie Scibetta. "Of the quarter billion hardware systems sold in the United States during the past 10 years, Nintendo sold more than half.

"We look forward to bringing fun new experiences to consumers when Nintendo 3DS launches in March."

No one can replace Cammie Dunaway. You have huge shoes to fill, Miss Scibetta.

Also did I read that these Xbox "constraints" are to last until March? If that's the case, then the 3DS has a very timely launch date!

glad to hear it
