This is something I really should've noticed before. But better late than never?
As
of the quarter ending September 30, 2008, Nintendo's combined shipments
of home game consoles (NES, SNES, N64, GCN, and Wii) passed 200 million.
As
of the quarter ending December 31, 2008, Nintendo's combined shipments
of portable game machines (Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance,
Nintendo DS, and the variations of each) is nearly 300 million. DS's numbers from the next quarter will probably push it over the edge.
Put
together, as of the quarter ending December 31, 2008, their combined
shipments of home and portable hardware passed 500 million.
