Nintendo Dominates Amazon Sales in 2009
Ricardo Trejo
Amazon has this list, right? It's a list of what makes them money and they order it from the most profitable to the most dingy. As a gamer I know the strong influence Modern Warfare 2 had on the mainstream masses, but what I didn't expect was that the Wii - although being in it's 3rd yeard - is still raking in the dough like only the DS has done.
Amazon's Best Sellers in Video Games 2009:
1. Wii
2. Wii Remote
3. Wii Motion Plus
4. Wii Nunchuck controller
5. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
6. Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board
7. Wii Sports Resort
8. Wii Fit
9. Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360)
10. Mario Kart w/ Wii Wheel
Modern Warfare didn't even show up until the number 8 spot. Really? You would've thought everyone already had a Wii by now. But I guess people need two in their homes since they can't fit in all that Wii Sports Resort goodness into one console. I find it interesting, though, that Nintendo absolutely dominated everything; from games to accessories, it as all them. I can see why now they aren't all that focused on announcing a new system - not while they can still squeeze people out of every penny they own.
