In March, Nintendo again defined industry momentum in both home and portable video games sales, according to the independent NPD Group, which monitors retail activity in the video game industry. More than 720,000 Wii™ systems sold in March, representing the highest monthly sales total outside of holiday months (November or December) to date, while Nintendo DS™ also sold through nearly 700,000 systems.

Nintendo also finished with the top-selling U.S. game of March. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/ssbb), which launched March 9, came in at No. 1 with 2.7 million units sold.

 “Nintendo systems represented 58 percent of all video game hardware sold in March in the United States,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “We expect our momentum to continue with big upcoming game launches like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Mario Kart Wii (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/mkwii) and Wii Fit.”

Other March U.S. statistics, according to NPD, include:

 * Three Wii games finished in the top 10, including Super Smash Bros. Brawl (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/ssbb) at No. 1, Wii Play™ at No. 4, and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock at No. 7.
* Nintendo DS has now sold more than 19 million units in the United States alone since it launched in November 2004.

Also, in Canada, Super Mario Galaxy (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/smg) landed the number three spot, while Super Smash Bros. Brawl (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/ssbb) took number one, of course. Read more here (http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/April2008/17/c6749.html)
