Nintendo is tooting its horn today with an announcement that four of the company’s games are leading the the United States’ April sales charts. Citing NPD Group data, Nintendo says Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl top the charts, with Super Paper Mario and Wii Play following close by. The two DS Pokemon games have sold more than 1.75 million copies in the 14 days they were available during the April reporting period.
"Nothing is more valuable in the entertainment world than an evergreen franchise," says Reggie Fils-Aime, president and COO, Nintendo of America. "These new Pokemon titles have cemented their place alongside the most enduring intellectual properties of the book, music and movie industries. And that appeal will expand even further with the introduction of Pokemon Battle Revolution to our Wii home console next month."
