Nintendo does it again, as they manage to utterly dominate the competition for yet another month.

The hardware break down is as follows:- Nintendo DS: 423K

Dagnabbit PS3 beat out poor GBA by 1k. Also I'm wondering if we could replace Iwata with Reggie for an American "It Prints Money" gif. Also Pachter was wrong with his 400k Wii 100k PS3 and 225k X-360 prediction.

Aside from being affordable, what sets Wii
apart from its rivals is its innovative gameplay that is so different from the usual gaming machines that we are
acquainted with. You can't help but be amused small children playing Wii Boxing in front of the screen. The physical aspect of it is perhaps what contributes to its popularity.
