Nintendo rocks on....
If you've been following our Japanese hardware sales series, or caught last month's NPD report, or have a pulse and leave the house, you've no doubt heard that Nintendo's DS and Wii consoles are ... well, they're sort of a big deal. How big a deal? The pair are responsible for Nintendo's "record high" fiscal year, which ended March 31, 2007. The stats:
* consolidated fiscal year revenues of ¥966.5 billion, a 90% increase
* operating profits of ¥226.0 billion, a 150% increase
* 23 million Nintendo DS consoles last year, lifetime sales of 40 million
* 5.84 million Wii consoles in less than five months, "nearly" 29 million Wii games
Now for the projections for the fiscal year which began April 1, 2007:
* consolidated sales increasing nearly 18% to ¥1.14 trillion
* operating profits growing nearly 20% to ¥270 billion
* 22 million Nintendo DS systems and 130 million games
* 14 million Wii systems and 55 million games worldwide (will that be enough?)

Well done Nintendo I say.
Making a fortune from their little DS which trounces the oppsition and the Wii ain't doing bad either.
And they probably don't lose $200 or more on each unit sold like the opposition! ;-)
