Like any crazy rich corporation, Nintendo celebrated the new year and closed out the old by releasing sales figures. As exciting as that sounds, things actually get more exciting once you look at the worldwide sales numbers for the Wii. You know, the gimmick. The gimmick that sold a combined 3.19 million consoles worldwide since launch a month and change ago?
I don’t know what kind of profit that number sold turns into (writer, not a mathematician here), but as my pseudo-European friend from Citibank says, it’s has to be rewarding, very very very rewarding.

I won't believe that number until Nintendo releasing a press release or something. But it is pretty impressive in any case.
And take in account that the number of consoles sold by Nintendo actually translate into a profit. No matter what console sales Sony and MicroSoft release, you know each sale means a loss!
FABULOUSLY!!
