Get out your cheque books,
"Nintendo said it now expects to sell 28 million Nintendo DS portable game consoles and 17.5 million Wii consoles this fiscal year, higher than its previous sales projections of 26 million and 16.5 million.
For the full year to March 2008, Nintendo is now projecting net profit of 275 billion yen ($2.41 billion), operating profit of 420 billion ($3.7 billion) and revenue of 1.55 trillion yen ($13.6 billion).
In July, the company forecast net profit of 245 billion yen ($2.4 billion), operating profit of 370 billion yen ($3.25 billion) and revenue of 1.40 trillion yen ($12.3 billion)."
"Nintendo has already sold 53.6 million DS consoles, and sales are still strong. Unit sales in the last six months _ 13.35 million units _ rose 32 percent from the same period last year. The company said it expected to sell 28 million DS units in the year ending March."
"`With a lineup of killer games on the way, the business will be smooth sailing,'' said Naoki Fujiwara, who helps oversee $3.2 billion at Shinkin Asset Management Co. in Tokyo. The release of ``Super Smash Bros.'' and ``Wii Fit'' will bolster sales, said Fujiwara"
"Nintendo expects to sell 17.5 million consoles in the year ending March 31, a 6.1 percent increase from a July estimate, and 97 million game titles, up 35 percent from its earlier forecast."
