Latest Nintendo Sales and Top Sellers Revealed

As we enter the final quarter this fiscal year, Nintendo has outlined the latest batch of sales figures.

It's been a fairly solid nine months for Nintendo (for the period ending December 2015), as the company capitalised on the surprise success of Splatoon, plus the continual strength of more evergreen games like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

Nintendo recorded an operating profit of 33.5bn yen (approximately $277m) during the last fiscal quarter (October to December 2015), with net income at 29.1bn yen ($241m). Wii U hardware sales have taken a dip during the last three months, though, now sitting at a 12.6 million unit lifetime figure.

3DS dropped compared to the same period in 2014, with 3.6 million units sold (compared to nearly 5 million units). Lifetime figures, however, are at 57.9 million sold.
