  • Nintendo dominated with 3.65 million pieces of software sold and had 22 games in the top-100.

These figures are not to bad considering the tragedy of the Earthquake that struck Japan earlier this year. The report figures Nintendo will have a stronger second half to the year.

“Bright points include the Nintendo 3DS’s launch and the continued good performance of popular franchises,” they wrote. “In terms of 2011 as a whole, major releases are all bunching around the second half of the year like never before, which should lead to brisk business along the lines of previous years.”
