Numbers for the month of May are coming in for Japan these days (NPD for the US should be coming next week), and unsurprisingly Nintendo is raking in the dough. An excerpt from the GameDaily analysis:
Incredibly, when combined Nintendo platforms accounted for about 80 percent of the hardware market; that’s true domination. The DS now has total sales in Japan of over 17 million units. One the software side, it was a similar story. The DS controlled 60.8 percent of the market and the Wii took 18.7 percent share. 8 of the top 10 titles were on Nintendo platforms.
In addition, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings for the Nintendo DS is nearly the 500,000 mark in Japan. Head on over to see the rest of the data.
