5.5 billion USD in profits; far above what they have ever reached before.
FY2009 (April 1 2008- March 31 2009)
Wii:
205 million software
25.95 million hardware
DS:
196 million software
31 million hardware
The hardware sales are both record breaking for the industry overall.
DS is currently in the alltime top position for software sales. The Wii will surpass NES and break into #2 sometime this year; and with the rate of sales per system, will eventually overtake the DS. Projected hardware sales for Wii and DS are 26 million and 30 million respectively.
Lifetime totals for the DS have passed 100 million and Wii 50 million; The DS was formerly the fastest selling system in the Industry's history, and the Wii has now claimed that throne. Wii Fit continues to hang high in the charts and is quickly coming to the end of its journey to becoming the #1 best selling game in history (averaging over 100 USD a pop from launch, it has generated the most revenue from sales). Wii Sports recently surpassed Super Mario Brothers to become the most owned game in history.
