A 30 Year Success Story

[FyreeTSG]

THINGS SEEM FINE TO ME...

Nintendo's recent Financial Report for 2012 offered a fairly impressive addition, as the numbers were tabulated for the 30-year History starting in 1983 with the release of the FAMICOM in Japan.

SINCE the Famicom, an ASTOUNDING 268.97 Million Nintendo consoles have sold---Famicom, Super Famicom, NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Virtual Boy, Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U.

Nintendo's Handhelds, which have been the TOP of the charts since the Game Boy: How about 385.15 million--Game Boy, GBC, GBA, DS and 3DS--with DS of course being the currently highest-sold Gaming system at around 150 million itself, and Game Boy being the one that really gave us HANDHELD gaming the way we now know it.

Added impressive numbers? Sure, GAMES SOLD: 2.195 Console games, and 1.907 Handheld games in that 30 year period--with the Mario and Pokemon franchises being the BEST Selling series respectively, and TOP Selling Franchises in Gaming History.



So--who's still unimpressed?

Dang... Those are some pretty high numbers. It makes sense that there are more handhelds sold than consoles.
This really shows the effect Nintendo had and still has for the gaming world!
