Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Nintendo has provided a short statement about the US performance of its systems for the month of May.
Even though the company was nebulous with its sales data, we do have one significant stat. Over 285,000 units of portable/console hardware were sold last month. That piece of information should include all of Nintendo’s systems – the Wii, 3DS, and DS.
Nintendo’s entire response is as follows:
“In May, Nintendo sold more than 285,000 units of portable and console hardware. At the E3 Expo in Los Angeles last week, Nintendo revealed a massive slate of first- and third-party games on the way for Nintendo 3DS and the upcoming Wii U console. Further details about Nintendo’s E3 announcements can be found here: http://e3.nintendo.com. We’re looking forward to a strong second half of 2012.”

Iwata: Wii U dual screen idea nearly canned, not worried about competition, more
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has divulged lots of new Wii U tidbits in an interview.
He discussed how Nintendo came close to ditching the second screen idea for Wii U, how he’s not concerned about third-parties using similar ideas, the improved situation for third-parties, and more. Iwata even commented directly on the possibility that Wii U could find itself in the same situation as Wii once Sony/Microsoft release their own new hardware.
Head past the break for Iwata’s comments.
