Forums - Nintendo - Are Nintendo still doing alright out of Wii and DS?


Both the mega successful Wii and DS both have successors on the market, but both are still on the market themselves and continue to sell. My question is do Nintendo still make decent financial gains with these two systems still out there. In my knowledge i have never known Nintendo have 4 devices on sale at the same time, but even though they are no longer properley supporting Wii and DS both the hardware and backlog of decent games (most still full price) still pull in respectable numbers. Many people say that with Wii still being on the market it is hurting Wii U sales, maybe it is, but it must be still raking in decent cash for Nintendo not to kill it entirely. What are your thoughts??



Around the Network

They recently brought over the Wii MIni to Europe. I suspect they wouldn't do that if they lose on the system.
