"Here in its sixth year of availability, Nintendo DS continues to expand the appeal of video games," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "We expect the public's appetite for these systems will grow even more when we introduce our new extra-large model, the Nintendo DSi XL, on March 28."

Three of the top five best-selling games of February play on Nintendo systems. These includeNew Super Mario Bros.™ Wii at No. 1 with more than 555,000 sold, Ubisoft's Just Dance™ at No. 4 with more than 275,000 sold and Wii Sports Resort™ with the Wii MotionPlus™ accessory at No. 5 with more than 272,000 sold.
