Recently announced by Enterbrain, Nintendo dominated the competition in sales figures for 2007. They were able to gain tremendous amounts from not only their hardware, but software as well.

They sold 7.1 million Nintendo DS units and 3.6 million Wii sales. The PSP came in third selling 3 million and the PS3 in forth with 1.2 million. Staggering along behind them all was the Xbox 360 with 258,000.

Wii Sports conquered the software category with 1.9 million units sold. Next up was Monster Hunter Portable 2 with 1.489 million. Wii Play came in third place in the category with 1.487 million. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon was next in line with 1.25 million and Mario Party DS came close with 1.23 million.

The hardware sales reached 327.41 billion (US 2.9 B) and the software sales reached 360.25 billion (US 3.3 B), totaling to a massive amount of 687.66 billion (US 6.2 B) in Japan.

Having said this, it looks like we Playstation fans need to kick it up a notch for good ol’ Sony and start buying PS3’s and games for our friends and family (if you have some serious extra cash laying around!)
