Nintendo Annual Profit Up 8%

Nintendo’s business is growing, despite the economic slowdown, thanks to the continued demand for the Wii and DS (hardware and software). Nintendo sold slightly less consoles than expected: 25.95 versus 26.5M Wiis and 31.2 versus 31.5M DS consoles. But the software sales is really where the profit is, and Nintendo has cool stuff in the pipeline, like the next Legend of Zelda.
