Nintendo's sales figures are in, and the numbers aren't as bad as you might have thought they'd be. Nintendo has always been the oldest company in gaming, but is it the best? The best way to determine that would be sales, so have a look.
These are from April to July sales, a three month period. In which time, Pokemon Emerald and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, along with the incentive to purchase a DS made by the releases of Nintendogs and Advance Wars probably had a big effect. Although this may seem like a lot, sales have actually declined for the Nintendo GameCube, as it enters a drought that will probably last until the November release of Twilight Princess. But, without further ado, I bring to you...Just look for yourself.
