With the January NPD numbers coming next week, I thought it was time to catch up with how the holidays treated the video game industry.  Or, in other words, how many good little boys and girls received Nintendo products.  Read below for the answer:

Wii: 3,810,000
DS: 3,310,000
PS3: 1,360,000
Xbox 360: 1,310,000
PSP: 655,000
PS2: 333,000

Over three years after the launch of the Nintendo Wii, it still managed to sell nearly four million units in one month; single-handedly outselling all systems without Nintendo branding.  The Nintendo DS  brought its number of units sold-to-date in the US to a staggering 44 million.  The PS3 and 360 both clocked in around 1.3 million.

On the software side,  Nintendo sold a lot of games (surprise!).

01. New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii) – 2,820,000
02. Wii Fit Plus (Wii) – 2,410,000
03. Wii Sports Resort (Wii) – 1,790,000
04. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360) – 1,630,000
05. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3) – 1,120,000
06. Wii Play (Wii) – 1,010,000
07. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) – 936,1000
08. Assassin’s Creed II (Xbox 360) – 783,100
09. Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360) – 728,500
10. Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story (DS) – 656,700

Nintendo dominated software sales with five Wii games and a DS game in the top ten, including three with Mario in the title.  Maybe Microsoft and Sony should try that out?

In its second month on shelves, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 continued to perform well on the 360 and PS3.
