Mario must be feeling super today. The latest game console sales figures for America, compiled by NPD Group, show his creator, Nintendo, outdistancing the competition by thousands of units. There were 485,000 Nintendo DS units sold in February and 335,000 sales of Nintendo’s newest console, Wii, according to the NPD report. That means Nintendo almost sold as many Wii consoles last month as both its main competitors combined. Wii sales more than doubled those of the Sony PlayStation 3, of which only 127,000 units were sold.
Nintendo’s Still the One
