by Cory Birdsong on

Nintendo continues to dominate hardware sales, despite an overall downward trend.

Nintendo’s platforms have also managed to claim half of the top 10, by making games with the word ‘Wii’ in the title, as well as having gimped versions of popular music games. Following this logic, Wii Music will sell more than Jesus and the Beatles put together. Hardware
