Nintendo has announced that they have sold upwards of 12 million hardware units in the US in the last year.
That figure includes 4 million 3DS units, 4.5 million Wii consoles and more than 3.4 million DS handhelds.
Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing said: "One of the strongest software lineups in our history helped Nintendo have a great holiday season and to close 2011 with a full head of steam".
"Not only have the new Mario and Zelda titles already broken records, but with strong reviews and satisfied customers sharing their positive experiences, all three are also shaping up to be the latest long-tail titles from Nintendo."
"Couple that with a massive first- and third party lineup in the first part of the year and the prospects for 2012 are extremely promising."
With Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 becoming the first 3DS titles to sell a million copies each, and with an impressive array of titles lined up for release in 2012 (games like Resident Evil Revelations, Pokemon and Metal Gear Solid 3D), Nintendo can look to the year ahead with renewed confidence.
