Nintendo just sent out their consolidated results for the quarter ending last month. It's chockful of interesting sales figures and predictions. The good news for Nintendo is that the DS really is like printing money.

Through June, Nintendo has sold more than 21 million of the portables and another 4.1 million DS Lites. The company also sold more than 78 million games for the two-screened system.

Nintendo predicts that from April of this year through March of next they will sell another 17 million DSes and 75 million games, and both of those are higher than the predictions they made back at E3.

You'd think all of that DS love would leave the Game Boy Advance dead in the water. Not so, apparently. Nintendo is still expecting to sell another 2.5 million of the handhelds from April to March of next year and another 30 million games for the system. Insane.

Not all is rosy at Nintendo, the beautifully designed and totally useless Micro is DOA. Since it's launch, only 1.8 million have been purchased and in the last three months only 30,000 were sold. Nintendo put a big dash for their predictions of future sales. Too bad, I love that thing.

Nintendo also makes some predictions about their next-gen console the Wii. From April to March of next year, which really means five or six months, Nintendo expects to sell 6 million of the consoles and 17 million games for it. Brian Crecente
