Nintendo hardware, software takes top honors in Japan (again)
Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, I’m afraid, so pack away those party favors and instead feast on this news tidbit regarding Nintendo’s now legendary sales dominance in the Land of the Rising Sun: The total domination of games for Nintendo formats during Japan’s “Golden Week” series of public holidays has reached ever higher levels, with the top 21 best selling...
