I know everyone has their own opinion of the Wii and its status as a games console.

One thing I've heard said a lot is that Nintendo sell a lot of hardware which is where they make the profit but don't do so well when it comes to software.

Well figures released for the UK suggest Nintendo does just fine in software sales.

Quote:
ELPSA/GFK sales charts for 2008 show that the Nintendo Wii sold 20.1 million software units on the year, up an astounding 153 percent from 7.9 million in 2007. Revenue also more than doubled for Wii software–481 million pounds in 2008, compared to 227 million pounds in 2007.
Sony and Microsoft also saw tremendous growth in 2008, however, neither company managed to impress as much as Nintnedo.
