Wow, Nintendo has like 60% Market Share in Canada.

Nintendo is doing a fantastic job, and it's not because of the low prices of the consoles and handhelds, it's the quality and creativity most people in the video gaming world know very well. Newcomers also find the Wii interesting because of it's new style of gaming.

Yeah they are doing a pretty good job, clearly the numbers show for it.
No doubt they will improve on those when Metroid, Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros. Brawl come out.

I'm still wondering why the GBA is still selling.

For serious, you can just get a DS.

And then be able to experience the wonders of the DS at the same time.

I saw a single Wii in Walmart the other day...
First I seen in months.

I knew I shoulda got my dad to buy it.
Coulda made 100 bucks for some more DS stuff

 

[mushy_peas]

thats what i like to see.
a company which actually cares about games and their customers. microsoft and sony are too worried about getting out hardware which lasts five minutes(microsoft) and selling it for mega $$$, nintendo sells cheap but keep the amazing quality. in our common room at school the n64 has been thrown( yeah i kno, the cheak) and stepped on but still works fine. the xbox stopped working the first week it was in their.

 

[manufan15]

Hahahahaha. The GBA is beating the PS3 by about 2000 units. Lol.

 

[RivalDestiny]

All i have to say is...

:yikes:

I don't know if people get confused cause of 2 screens, so they just buy 1? xD, stupid thoughts of mine creeping up my spine...

Anyways, I'd be interesting to see how many PS3's were sold during July compared to the Wii and DS....

 

[CantGetAWii]

All I have to say is, google why the wii is doing good, and we are the fourth or fifth hit on there.
