The folks at Nintendo are laughing all the way to the bank because their net profit has grown 47.7% to an all time high thanks to strong sales of DS and Wii.
Their net profit for this year is a heafty 257.34 billion yen for the fiscal year of March07 to April 08 which was impressive compared to the 174.29 billion yen a year back.
Looks like the strategy of Nintendo to attract the general gamers is paying off against rivals PS3 and XBOX360.
To date, a total of 24.45 million Wii units has been sold and 70.60 million units of the DS has been sold worldwide.

I think soon Wii will be like the must-have entertainment system in every household. LOL
You’re off with DS sold units. I think it should be above 70 million now worldwide.
It prints money!
i dreamt that i dropped my DS into water last night, i telll ya, i freaked….
I still dont play much next/new gen console games but i LOVE no more heroes on wii, we have 2 wii’s at my house, around 30 games lol….mario kart twice, dont get me wrong, they both belong to my brothers
Given what’s happening with the industry, anime companies should give Nintendo a call.
If they ask really nicely, maybe Nintendo might be kind enough to give them tips to print money themselves, which would solve many of their problems.
Go Nintendo! I got 2 DS and a Wii ^^
With ppl like me around they’ll never go bust
@ bluemist: thanks for pointing that out. I mistakenly put the figures for 2007 as the total sales number since launch.
@ Dee: How would u drop your DS into the water, unless you were playing it in your bath. LOL
@ dark22: I think Nintendo must have hired some super business strategist that made they rise up above Sony and Microsoft in the console wars.
@ squee: Haha I intend to get a Wii soon too.
