Wii & Nintendo DS Set New Industry Records
Wii Sells 10.17 Million Units & DS Sells 9.95 Million Units in a Year
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Before 2008, no video game system had ever been purchased by ten million Americans in a single year. But according to independent sales data released today by the NPD Group, the Wii™ console from Nintendo did just that, even during these economic times, with 2008 unit sales of 10.17 million. The Nintendo DS™ portable handheld system came in a close second, with 2008 unit sales of 9.95 million. Each of them broke the previous yearly unit sales record set in 2007 by Nintendo DS with sales of 8.52 million.
Consequently, Wii represented 55% of all next generation home console sales in 2008, while Nintendo DS claimed 72% of all portable system sales in 2008.

Minna no Theatre Wii has a chance of releasing in North America
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
“We can’t quite tell at the moment [if the service will arrive in the United States]. But if the negotiations are a success, maybe within the year. Nintendo has the power to push forward their own, original service.” – Fujisoft representative Atsushi Ide
As you can probably tell, it’ll take some work to bring the service stateside. Remember, Minna no Theatre Wii is different from Nintendo’s own video distribution serivce. Fujisoft will have to negotiate with Nintendo of America in order for there to be a chance of bringing the service to the United States.
