As has already been established, Nintendo is doing well for itself, shattering sales records in the United States with the Wii and Nintendo DS. And, according to Nintendo, it's 99% responsible for the industry's growth.
Nintendo highlighted that fact in its response to NPD sales data released yesterday, showing that Nintendo hardware sold more than 20 million units in the U.S. last year, with 132 million software units sold on the company's platforms. That's a considerable increase from the nearly 15 million consoles and portables it sold in 2007.
That increase in sales, Nintendo says, is 99% of the reason the video game industry saw revenues increase by $3.35 billion last year. That's a much smaller change than the game industry experienced from 2006 to 2007, we should note, 43% to 19% growth comparatively
(The company included a handy — but visually ugly — pie chart to drive the point home, one that we tried to improve upon.)
With four of the best selling games in the U.S., according to the NPD Group, and the best-selling hardware by a large margin, we'd think it's pretty safe to say Nintendo is protecting the video game industry from succumbing to a terrible economy.
Will it be able to stave off an even worse 2009?
You got to admit, I don't care too much for the console of its kitty, party, and mediocre games, but the Wii's sales are actually doing great.

If by 99% growth of the industry they mean 99% growth of the industry with females playing Wii Fit during commercial breaks of all day Oprah marathons then they are spot on!

Bullshit fake numbers to make your company look good are also bullshit fake numbers to make your company look good no matter who they come from. Software does better on the 360 which is where the most profits in the industry come from and yet Nintendo are bringing in 99% of the profits and everybody else r teh doomed!!!

God forbid if these numbers were true. Nintendo would have the industry killed for real gamers before this gen is over and all there would be next gen are lazy morons making lackluster hardware and nothing but the most casual games you can imagine.
