A blue Nintendo logo - Image 1It's not surprising to hear from a former playing card company, especially when that company's consoles sold well last month. Since the NPD Group's February sales results are now in, Nintendo has released an official statement regarding the matter.

Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing, had this to say:

Our momentum has not let up since the holidays and we expect it to continue throughout the year. We have the industry's strongest lineup of games for everyone from core to casual gamers.


Nintendo has every reason to be proud of its performance: the DS sold nearly 587,600 units last month, topping the sales hardware charts. The Wii took the Number 2 spot on the charts with around 432,000 units sold.

"We have the industry's strongest lineup of games for everyone from core to casual gamers."

Really? Care to mention some of them? To make a claim like that you have to give more than 3 titles. That's probably why she didn't.

http://www.videogamesblogger.com/2007/06/17/console-exclusive-games-list-for-xbox-360-ps3-and-wii-as-of-june-2007.htm

This list is almost a year old, but it shows most of the upcoming and already released games exclusive to each system. While the Wii has the 2nd most exclusives, just look at them! Read some of the reviews and pray it will get better!

   Re: ISOHaven - 2008-03-17
 » WTF!?!?!?!?!

First off, as even you stated, that list is OLD!

Secondly, plenty of those games got excellent reviews. However, as reality tells you, reviews don't mean everything. Sales are the bottom line.

You can tell me a movie SUCKED all you want. That doesn't mean I DIDN'T ENJOY IT MYSELF.

I'm still having a blast playing some of those games.

Have you figured it out yet?
