Nintendo's Still the One
By Fred J. Aun, TechNewsWorld, 03/16/07 11:04 AM PT -- Nintendo blew away the competition in February gaming console sales, according to an NPD report. The company sold 485,000 DS units and 335,000 Wii consoles in the month. Meanwhile, Microsoft's Xbox 360 sold 228,000 units, while Sony continued to struggle as its PlayStation 3 lagged with only 127,000 units sold.
funny i saw an ad for wii which said that if you arent worried about cutting edge graphics then this is the game system for you. obviously the price becomes the selling point but surprising that they would devalue their own product.
I think they're trying to inoculate themselves against criticism about graphics power by being upfront about it. Perhaps they'll take it further and mock the fanboys of the other platforms.
