The DS is getting on a bit now and many people have bought one. It’s had a great run and is home to loads of awesome games but now with the 3DS looming on the horizon, the end is near.
This is refelcted in the year-on-year sales which show a decline in sales of 26%. The Wii on the other hand had a 1% increase and while it’s good sales went up 1%, when compared to the Xbox 360 and PS3 at 119% and 76% respectively, it’s not looking too great right now for Nintendo hardware.
Xbox 360 +119%
PlayStation 3 +76%
Wii +1%
DS -26%
PSP -32%
What you need to keep in mind here though is that while there was a small increase in Wii sales, 1% on top of an already large sales number is still impressive and even the 360 and PS3 haven’t caught up with Wii sales even considering 119% and 76% increases, as you can see below:
