The Wii enjoyed massive sales this year, with Nintendo shipping 18.6 million units for the 12 month period ending March 31st, bringing the worldwide total to 24.45 million units.

The console's tiny folding friend is doing great as well, with 30.31 million DS systems shipped over the course of the year for a total of 70.6 million - and they're expecting to ship 28 million more this year. The company enjoyed sales of 1.67 trillion yen, a leap of 73 percent over the previous year, with operating profits up 115.6 percent to 487 billion yen. Hit the jump for the annual Nintendo numbers festival! More »
