If all those number from yesterdays NPD release, is making your head spin…No?..me either… Well then you can just check out the Analysis below to find out what the numbers mean to Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo.
This month’s NPD results leave us with a lot of unanswered questions, but one thing’s for sure — Nintendo has bounced back nicely from its post-holiday inventory drought. Remember, last month’s numbers brought Wii and DS down within spitting distance of their rivals. Sure, they were still in first place, but it was practically a statistical tie.
But they found their footing in February, and they’re back to selling unbelievable amounts of hardware — especially for this time of year. And Wii’s dominance is only going to continue. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
in March. Mario Kart in April. Wii Fit in May. It’s looking as if Nintendo’s supply situation with Wii isn’t going to resolve itself before 2009, at this point.
