Nintendo announced today that sales of their Game Boy Advance are expected to exceed $1.5 billion in revenue, an estimate beyond the domestic estimates for any Hollywood movie maker.
"Game Boy Advance is the envy of the entertainment world," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Not only does our 'studio' boast a library of more than 550 titles, but these hits get played over and over again."
Despite the sluggish economy, sales of Game Boy Advance have flourished, thanks in part to the March release of the stylish, front-lit Game Boy Advance SP and the release of the Game Boy Advance SP in new casings of Flame (red) and Onyx (black) six months later. The Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo GameCube(TM) are the only game systems to show an increase in systems sold compared with 2002.
Nintendo sold more than 400,000 Game Boy Advance systems in October alone, 100,000 more than any other game system! And its momentum continues.
