May 2012 NPD: Nintendo’s terse response
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.”
