Nintendo Serves Up a Dish Full of Numbers

As has become customary during this time of the month, the big three are throwing out positive spins on their sales numbers to instill confidence in their rabid user base and surely investors alike.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D has sold 283,000 units in the month of June making it the second-best selling game, with L.A. Noire holding the #1 spot. As for Nintendo’s hardware performance, 143,000 3DS systems, 273,000 Wii systems (putting lifetime U.S. sales over the 36 million mark), and 386,000 units from the Nintendo DS family were sold.

Sean started playing video games in infancy. He was not given a choice as much as a directive from his parents to be the best gamer on Earth. Sean was subjected to 10-12 hours of rigorous daily gaming throughout his youth, mastering the most complex video games and dominating online competitions. Sean's symbiotic relationship with video games led to writing about them for various gaming websites, and he is currently involved in sales strategy and analytics at one of the largest video game publishers in the world. Sean's mission is simple: Turn 100% of the human population into gamers, willingly or otherwise.
