NPD Says Nintendo DS and Wii Finish 1 and 2 in August U.S. Sales
Nintendo DS™ and Wii™ again topped the hardware sales charts for August, according to the independent NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. In August, more than 514,000 portable Nintendo DS systems sold in the United States, bringing the lifetime U.S. total to nearly 22 million. In August, more than 448,000 Wii consoles sold in the United States, bringing the lifetime U.S. total to nearly 12 million and extending its lead as the best-selling video game console of this generation.
Five games made for Nintendo systems placed in the top 10 best-selling games of the month, including Wii Fit™ at No. 4 with nearly 395,000 sold, Mario Kart® Wii at No. 5 with nearly 329,000 sold, Wii Play™ at No. 6 with more than 200,000 sold, Madden NFL 09 All-Play for Wii at No. 9 with nearly 116,000 sold and Guitar Hero: On Tour for Nintendo DS at No. 10 with more than 111,000 sold.
“The positive public response to Nintendo DS and Wii has stayed strong throughout 2008,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “New titles like Madden NFL 09 All-Play for Wii have joined top 10 veterans like Wii Fit, demonstrating the wide and long-lasting appeal of Nintendo games.”

Capcom interested in future acquistions, series’ sales data

“We will be actively pursuing friendly acquisitions and partnerships. In order to ensure stable and sustained growth, we must expand our business in the larger size overseas market where there is ample room for growth. We therefore have no plans to merge with any major Japanese video game publishers or toy manufacturers in the foreseeable future since it is unlikely to contribute to sales expansion overseas. Such a merger could also restrict our licensing business opportunities. On the other hand, we are aggressively going after acquisition and partnership opportunities if they benefit our goal of creating gaming content with universal market appeal. As I mentioned earlier, K2 Corporation with whom we have developed titles for overseas was made our wholly owned subsidiary during this fiscal year. Our aggressive strategy on merger and acquisition has already begun producing good results.” -Kenzo Tsujimoto
