Wii Tops 35 Million in Sales as Multiple Games Hit Major Milestones

Nintendo’s Wii™ console has crossed the 35 million sales mark in the United States, according to the NPD Group. More than 454,000 Wii consoles sold in February to put Wii across the 35 million mark faster than any other console in U.S. history.

February proved to be a notable month for Nintendo software as well. Not only was Just Dance 2 from Ubisoft the No. 1 best-selling game of the month with more than 554,000 sold, but four Nintendo games reached new sales milestones. Donkey Kong Country™ Returns for the Wii console, which launched in November 2010, crossed the 2 million mark in February, while New Super Mario Bros.™ Wii, which launched in November 2009, just crossed the 8 million sales mark.

This information comes from Sterne Agee analyst…

“Microsoft and Sony are expected to persist with the current consoles for the foreseeable future (at least 2 to 3 years and maybe longer). However, Nintendo will likely need to introduce its next upgrade (Wii 2.0?) much before that, simply to catch up with the technology in the PS3 and the 360. Wii’s motion-controller advantage no longer exists given the introduction of Microsoft Kinect and Sony’s Move last year. We would not be surprised if Nintendo unveiled the specifications of its next console at E3 in June this year, followed by product introduction early next year.”

I’d say it’s possible that we’ll get a tease about the Wii’s successor this year, though I’m not expecting a huge blowout with specs or anything like that. Nintendo is concentrating on the 3DS right now, and I expect this will be the case for the rest of 2011. We’ll likely hear more about Nintendo’s next console at E3 2012.

Iwata at GDC

– Iwata’s speech caused a bit of controversy because some people thought he was putting down social/mobile gaming
– Iwata’s message was more about making your game matter regardless of the platform you’re developing for
– Nintendo is worried about the throwaway games you buy for a dollar or two, or even $40 that are worth nothing
– Iwata said the industry is at risk due to the glut of mobile games coming out that aren’t of high-quality

Zelda’s 25th anniversary

– Reggie said Nintendo has been focusing on the 3DS and Pokemon
– As a result, there haven’t been any new Wii announcements
– Reggie said there’s more content coming before E3, but didn’t elaborate
– Could be possible he was even talking about WiiWare games
– Zelda’s anniversary won’t be like Mario’s
– Iwata had said that Miyamoto is working on something for the anniversary that will allow gamers across the world to celebrate together

Hideki Konno on the 3DS reaction in Japan…

“I actually left the day after it went on sale in Japan, so I haven’t actually go to hear any of that direct feedback yet. But I do have my own personal Nintendo 3DS, and from my house to the airport I turned on Streetpass, and the day after launch I got four hits or so. So there are already people out there using that function. I’ve looked at a couple things on the web, but I haven’t had the chance to sit down and thoroughly search for information, and I haven’t heard any direct consumer feedback from actual people yet.”

Konno on Sony’s NGP…

“It’s a bit difficult in terms of comparing the two systems. I think that our goal when we set about making this for our customers for us it’s to surprise them and create these new unique experiences. I don’t know that our goals are the same for one thing. As far as from a user’s perspective, I love these digital gadgets, so when the NGP goes on sale I’m sure I’ll take a look at it and see what software is available for it and what the system can do. Whether or not Sony or Nintendo through the launches of these two different hardware systems are trying to achieve the same goal that’s something that I don’t know. It’s difficult to speak to what they’re trying to do.”
