Did you have yourself a Mario little Christmas? (I can hear you groaning.)
Analyst Jesse Divnich of EEDAR says that “Nintendo saved Christmas,” with Wii sales on an all-time high for December, and Wii games accounting for half of all games sold during the month.
“Without these sales,” he says, “the industry would have likely felt the full wrath of the recession. […] Simply put, Nintendo saved Christmas.” Dr. Seuss would be proud.
Sure, say all you want about the Wii’s games, but they’re the ones that kept the industry afloat. As for the rest of his predictions for December, Divnich forecasts that the Wii sold 3.2 million units, the Xbox 360 sold 1.5 million, and the PlayStation 3 clocked in at less than half that at 700,000 units.
