During the meeting with investors that was held yesterday, the boss of Nintendo Satoru Iwata has revealed new financial details.
We learn, then, that sales of software Wii U for the April / September 2014 increased by 200% compared to the equivalent half year earlier, mainly due to the publication of Mario Kart 8 which took place in May. Although the console has seen an increase in sales, but there are no precise data about it.
Iwata also talked about the extraordinary success of New 3DS and New 3DS XL in Europe and the US: the new console, in fact, has achieved outstanding results, exceeding three times those obtained by the launch of the original 3DS.
Amiibo also continue to grind impressive sales: Nintendo, in fact, well-distributed 5.7 million of figurines from November to 31 December 2014. Specifically, the US and Australia have appreciated more than the other Amiibo, and many characters have become unobtainable in early around the world (such as Captain Falcon in Japan, Marth in the US / Canada, Little Mac in Europe and Ike in Australia).
Satoru Iwata finally announced that sales of downloadable software, in the period which runs from April to September 2014, generated 21.1 billion yen in revenue, an increase of 17% over the same period last year. The increase was more pronounced in the US.
