Nintendo will no doubt be happy with the results of videogame sales for February 2009 in the US. The NPD Group's data showed that the Wii was the best-selling console with 753 000 units sold while the ever-popular Wii Fit was the top game with 644 000 copies sold.
Since then the publisher has announced that the latest NPD data shows that Wii Play has now sold more than 10 million units in the United States since the game launched in February 2007. According to the press release, Wii Play is now the "top-selling software on all consoles and portable systems in the United States."
Wii Play sold 386 000 copies to secure fourth place in February. However, its inclusion with the NPD data continues to be controversial. Most people believe it should not be included because it comes bundled with a free Wii Remote.

The video game industry has been surpassing both movies and music in terms of annual revenue for years now, and as such it’s not really possible for people to dismiss gaming as a nerdy fad anymore without looking like a fool.
Games are big business, and with the release of each new AAA title, studios are no doubt desperate to latch onto something which connects with a large core of the general public.
Since its 2012 launch, the Wii U has only sold 9.2 million units, according to its latest financial report. The Wii U isn’t just well behind the original Wii, it’s behind every single major Nintendo console to date. That includes the NES, SNES, N64 and even the low water-mark set by the Gamecube, previously considered to be Nintendo’s least successful console release.
Wow these Nintendo haters are reaching.
Try changing the subject from sales to games and you find Wii U is leading the market.
After all a gaming console is for playing games not for analyzing sales.
If your more interested in sales then your better off getting a calculator than a gaming console.
Regardless of what Wii U sells, they are still making profit, you can't that about any other console manufacturer.
Well, what can you expect from Forbes' "SJW extraordinaire" Paul Tassi? These people don't care about games, only about clickbait and creating drama. They are lowlife trolls, and I should have known better before clicking on it. To think that a year or two ago I actually held Forbes in high esteem, how quickly do things change.
So? ...doesn't make it any harder to enjoy the best games so far of this generation!
Quit the doom propaganda ...life's gonna be okay ;)
that's on them. it doesn't matter how many good games are on the system if the company doesn't have the guts to market it or to promote it...
To be fair Nintendo set high bars with their previous systems, even NGC did fine, just not for a Nintendo system. Wii U's problem is a lack of good games; NGC had that a bit but still had better games. Baten Kaitos, RE0, MGS:TS, ToS, and many others. I'm hard pressed to justify a Wii U purchase after 2 years. It really is their worst.
All that aside, I think it is still good enough to buy later. Practically every syatem has been though, with few exceptions (just among the Big 4; Sega, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft). Even Virtual Boy was better than crap like 3DO. Nintendo's failures are still cool. Their potential is wasted for sure though.
now thats what numbers are.....360 fans here u should talk about numbers :)
thanks
