Nintendo DS & Wii set new U.S. sales records in 2010

05/01/2011 By

The close of 2010 produced two sales milestones for Nintendo in the United States.  According to Nintendo’s internal sales figures, the Nintendo DS family of portable video game systems has sold more than 47 million in the United States since the original model launched in November 2004. That tally makes Nintendo DS the nation’s best-selling video game system of all time.

For the second major milestone of 2010, Nintendo’s internal figures show that the Wii home console marked its third consecutive calendar year with U.S. sales of more than 7 million – a feat never before accomplished in the history of video games by a home console. To date, the Wii system has sold more than 34 million in the United States alone.

Nintendo is set to release its new Nintendo 3DS hand-held system in the US in March. The portable system lets players see 3D content – without the need for special glasses. More details about the system will be announced in the future.

Playing video games is good for you

10/12/2010 By

Yes, that’s right.  That’s what a new survey from the American Heart Association suggests.  To be more specific,  the survey found that particpating in active-play video games can make people want more real-world physical activity.  Unfortunately that means that playing games like Halo, Angry Birds, Super Mario Galaxy or Football Manager 2011 may not necessarily make you any healthier (they’re just fun to play).

In the survey 58 percent of people who play active-play video games have begun a new real-life fitness activity like walking, tennis or jogging since they started playing the games. Additionally, 68 percent of people who play active-play video games say they are more physically active since they got involved in video games.  This research has led Nintendo and the American Heart Association to partner in a series of daily tips called “12 Days of Getting Active.”  The tips will be posted at  http://www.activeplaynow.com
