So probably a fair bit less than last year then. Still impressive though!
How about DS?

"only" ~13 million more DS sold then Wii? That is a bit surprising to me. Thought the gap would be bigger.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong but didn't last years Nintendo pr end up lowballing the Wii quite a bit?Nuclear Muffin said:

Reggie said 45 mil, not 40
Doing the maths on these numbers both DS and Wii have sold around 2.3m units last December in the US which would be considerably down from last year for both platforms but still very impressive nevertheless. Especially the DS LTD figure which puts it as the best selling system in the US.
Hopefully we'll get more numbers from Microsoft and Sony at CES

it just shows Nintendo will release Wii2 when they think it's the right time and not when some gaf whiners say that the fad is over
gerg said:
OK, so :
Wii > 2.3M
DS > 2.3M
But probably down YoY otherwise Nintendo would have bragged about breaking the record for December hardware sales twice in a row.
Why the 7 million mention for Wii ? Does aynone have the YTD sales for 2008 and 2009 ? If they were both above 8 millions, then it would mean that this year sales were between 7.0M and 7.9M

Was going to say that sounds a good bit down from last year. Not that 7 million still isn't something. Should make for interesting NPD next week. Wondering if this is like last month with the post BF figures before MS numbers hit. I don't know though looking at Dec I still was thinking Wii on top. Overall it sounds like somewhere under 3 million for the month or possibly slightly over. What was their LTD last year? 8 million plus right?
Kenka said:
Yeah. The Wii probably sold just over 3 million units. That figure would be considerably down from last year's figures but still in line with the November to Docember MoM increase we can expect for the Wii.
Jtyettis said:
If it is we're looking at around 2.8 or 2.9 million units. Personally I think that the other side of 3 million is more likely.

How far behind the PS2 is the DS on the worldwide sales record number?

I don't remember Nintendo doing any type of press release for it (Maybe I missed it). I figured if the DS passed the PS2's WW number there would have been some fanfare.
Paracelsus said:
In shipped numbers they were at 135m versus 150m at the end of September WW.
We'll have to wait until the end of January/early February to get numbers updated at the end of December. But it should happen during this year unless DS sales suddenly collapse when 3DS is launched.

At this point, the shipped to retail numbers aren't likely to be far ahead of the sales to consumers figures.
I think that PS2 is around 147 million WW if memory serves. DS has passed PS2 in the US and Japan, so it all depends on how it compares in Europe (though I reckon it's probably ahead by now)

Wait a minute....there US totals are larger than the competitions WW? Ouuuuuch.
TacticalFox88 said:
Ummm no because when you count in the expected WW Q3 sales for the competition, 360 will be over 51m and PS3 around 48m.
DS still really close to the feat actually :lol but Wii no.
Edit: If you're talking about actual sales as gathered by NPD, Media Create.......there's no way to know precise sales from Europe and other markets.

All I know, is that Wal-Mart was giving away $50 and then $75 gift cards with their Wii's in Dec. my store alone went through over 250 eazy, (esp. the red Mario bundle) I can only imagine if all the other stores did the same.
