We have a saying here in Argentina that translated to English says something like “while cats fight, rats fatten up.” That’s the best way to describe the current state of the console war.
According to the latest video game sales date from the NPD Group, Nintendo outsold all its competitors during the month of November with the company selling 55% of all video game systems.
The Nintendo Wii, which launched on Nov. 19 in the U.S., sold half a million systems in its first week of availability (and 600,000 units in its first eight days in the Americas).
Even more impressive is the fact that November's two top sellers of any type were the Nintendo DS, at almost 920,000 units, and the Game Boy Advance, with nearly 642,000 units sold.
The company issued today a press release proudly stating that Nintendo hardware outsold all others combined. Nintendo highlighted in the press release that if the Wii and GameCube totals are added to the portable sales figures, Nintendo sold through more than 2.1 million of the total 3.9 million systems purchased by U.S. gamers for the month of November.
