Here's some copypasta, straight from a press release sitting in my inbox:
Nintendo DS Will Finish 2007 as the Year's Top-Selling Video Game System
Appeal to Core and Casual Gamers Keeps Portable System Going Strong
REDMOND, Wash., Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- While many eyes are focused on
home video game consoles, Nintendo projects Nintendo DS(TM) to be the
top-selling system of the year. More than 6 million Nintendo DS portable video
game systems have sold in the United States in 2007 through Nov. 30, according
to internal Nintendo of America Inc. sales numbers. That's a rate of about one
sold every five seconds of 2007, enough to project Nintendo DS will be the
top-selling video game system of any kind for the year. Nintendo DS has
increased its sales in the United States every year since it launched in
November 2004.
"There's no letup in sight," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's
senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Nintendo DS
appeals strongly to both core and casual gamers, and its momentum is set to
propel us into 2008."
Nintendo DS began 2007 strong, but its momentum only increased as the year
progressed. Before 2007, Game Boy(R) Advance held the all-time U.S.
Thanksgiving week sales record, with 600,000 systems solBLAH BLAH BLAH
Okay Nintendo, you make good games, we get it. Now get on with the good games and
stop sucking your own penis already. None of us care to hear about how well you're doing,
we've been hearing it enough for the last year. Please just make the people who
contributed to those numbers not feel like they've wasted their money. Shut up and make
us games, dammit.
