Nintendo Ad Freeze

Nintendo WiiNintendo is responding to consumer complaints, in regards to Wii shortages, by haulting all their advertising. I personally have seen a number of Wii game advertisements though, especially surrounding Mario Galaxy and the Godzilla Unleashed.

So, does it make you feel better that Nintendo has decided to pause promotion of the console? I think the buzz is sustaining enough to make any gamer want to get their hands on one, even if there is no ongoing advertising going on. The powers that be say that they will be focusing their efforts on the DS and pick up the Wii console ads after the New Year.

Mario Galaxy

Nintendo is absolutely glowing over the recent success of the plumber’s latest adventure, Super Mario Galaxy. According to Nintendo’s sales figures the Wii game sold more than 500,000 copies in the very first week of release in the US, not to mention over seas sales of more than 251,000. In the UK market it’s currently the #1 selling Wii Game of all time.

“Super Mario Galaxy had the strongest one-week debut of any Wii game to date and has also become the best-selling Mario title ever in its first week, with U.S. sales of more than 500,000, based on internal sales figures. It makes an easy gift choice as the holiday shopping season kicks off.”

The next generation console war has been raging here in the latter part of 07 and the Wii was knocked out of #1, temporarily. The Xbox 360 was on top for a very short time, large part due to the fact that Halo 3 was finally released, which showed a surge in 360 sales. However, as of last month…that has changed.

The Nintendo Wii is once again the #1 selling next generation console on the market and with good reason. If you were one of the folks setting out waiting to jump into the Wii, well Mario Galaxy is the reason to start buying. The Nintendo Wii console along with the Mario Galaxy Wii game is the perfect combination gift for anyone on your list. Personally, I’ve had trouble pulling myself away from the game. ;)

For the boring figures, according to the market analyzer NPD, the Nintendo Wii sold 519,000 units, compared with 366,000 360 consoles. Ahhh, it’s good to be on top again.
