| Nintendo's boasting over the new NPD Group data that indicates several more top-sellers have been added to Nintendo's list. Pokemon still dominates the world. ... the two best-selling games in April were Pokemon(R) Diamond and Pokemon(R) Pearl, exclusively for the Nintendo DS(TM) hand-held game system, followed by Super Paper Mario(TM) and Wii Play(TM) for the Wii(TM) home video game system. Combined sales for the two related Pokemon titles exceeded 1.75 million units in just 14 days of availability during the reporting period.
The DS remained the most popular game system of any kind in April, with projected sales of more than 470,000 units. At the same time, the Wii from Nintendo, despite nearly universal sold-out status, was still purchased by twice as many consumers as any other home game console, according to the NPD data. Unit sales of 360,000 Wii systems in April bring the console's installed base in America to nearly 2.5 million in less than six months on the market.
