Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime says Wii sales are in line with expectations and the system is expected to have a strong November and December, reports NY Times. Fils-Aime made the comments in light of figures that show October Wii sales dropped 36 percent compared to last year. Despite the dip, Wii was the best-selling console in the US for the month with nearly 507,000 units sold, compared to about 321,000 units of PS3 and 250,00 units of Xbox 360.
Fils-Aime added that consoles are strongest in their third year in the market, and that Nintendo’s goal now is to create value for late adopters of the Wii. He also pointed to the upcoming Super Mario Brothers as a holiday contender against high-profile titles for PS3 and Xbox 360. Read more at NY Times.
