It seems that the Wii has already exhausted its capabilities. According to Pocket-Lint, sales of this once popular game console have declined by 21 percent compared with last year. According to the latest data, Nintendo managed to sell 20 million Wii from April 2009 to March 2010, and in total the Japanese company has already delivered 70 million 7th generation Wii to the market, that is, more than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 combined.
It is also worth noting that sales of the Nintendo DS also dropped from 31 million to 27 million, but let's not forget that this portable game console has been on the market for the eighth year already, so this fact was quite expected.
By the way, Nintendo believes that the Wii has every chance to break the record, which at one time set the PS2, as the best-selling game console. Whether the Japanese justify the hope is unclear, but sales of games for the Wii and DS over the past year have fallen by 6 and 32 percent, respectively. However, Nintendo believes that in this regard, the past year was one of the best in its history: a total of 340 million games were sold for both platforms.
