New Super Mario Bros. DS, which launched more than five years ago in May 2006, not a single Nintendo first-party title broke into the top 10 in July 2011.This isn't to say that Nintendo Wii software isn't selling. In fact, several titles in the top 10 this month are probably there precisely because they sell well on the Wii and the Nintendo DS. That includes licensed titles like Cars 2 and LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean as well as Just Dance 2 -- the current trend in NBA 2K18 MT
-based games -- and Zumba Fitness.As we have stated before, we believe that Wii to NBA 2K17 MT Coins software sales are driven primarily by the enthusiasm of new owners (consumers who have picked up a console within the last six months). We believe this is especially true for Nintendo's first-party titles, and so sales of games like Mario Kart Wii have simply fallen in tandem with Wii hardware sales. The sales of the third-party titles here is possibly the baseline support that
huge installed base of Wii owners can provide, along with some contribution from some new owners.The lack of big new releases in July isn't new, but it did compound the problem this year. Back in 2008 the biggest new title for the month (other than NCAA Football 09) was Soul Calibur IV for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and
that title sold fewer than 400,000 units. Other than Wii Sports Resort, no new release made the top 10 in July 2009, and the biggest new release fin July 2010 was Crackdown 2 for the nba18mt Xbox 360, which sold just over 200,000 units. (If we combine versions as the NPD Group does now, the top new release would have been LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1 -- 4, which sold over 270,000 units combined on the Wii and Nintendo DS.Before moving on, we would like
