    Nintendo DS Bigger Than Jesus This Christmas

    We won't trot out itprintsmoney.gif this time, because that animated image simply doesn't do justice to newly released hardware sales data from the NPD Group and the staggering figures coming out of Nintendo. The Nintendo DS sold an amazing 2.47 million Nintendo DS units to shoppers in December 2007, nabbing the number one spot and nearly doubling sales of its closest competitor, the Wii. Nintendo DS sales represent about a third of billion dollars in hardware sales alone.

    The Wii also had a very good month, beating out console competition the Xbox 360 by a solid 90,000 and trouncing the PlayStation 3, who brought up the rear with a respectable six-figure showing. The December casualty report from the US Console War of 2007 is below.

    • Nintendo DS - 2,470,000
    • Wii - 1,350,000
    • Xbox 360 - 1,260,000
    • PlayStation 2 - 1,100,000
    • PSP - 1,060,000
    • PlayStation 3 - 797,600
