Nintendo’s resident name jotter-downer and kiester-kicker recently divulged to BMO Capital Markets attendees that the Wii is outperforming its rivals when it comes to female gamers. According to its estimates (via Kotaku), 80 percent of the female console gaming crowd prefers Wii over the alternatives. With an estimated 11.7 million female console gamers in the Americas — it’s important to note this data of Nintendo’s doesn’t take into account DS owners or PC users — the figure comes out to roughly nine million ladies waggling their way into the fun zone.

Under Wii / Nintendo
During a recent interview with CNBC, Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime addressed the Wii’s recent price drop (surprise: it’s seen positive results) and the company’s strategy for the upcoming holiday season. The manufacturer is counting on a strong showing for its DSi handheld, with Reggie revealing that 2.2 million units have now been sold, presumably in North America alone.
Of course, Nintendo couldn’t have possibly sold that many handhelds without the help of retailers and according to Reggie, Walmart has been the biggest customer. We’re not surprised — Walmart is supernatural, after all.

With all the rapid-fire 3D action, Metroid: Other M may not look anything like any Metroid we’ve seen before, but according to Reggie Fils-Aime, it’s a return to a more familiar Metroid style. “A year ago, someone could have asked me, what’s going on with Metroid?” Fils-Aime told GameSpot. “When are we going to go back to the more traditional Metroid series versus the path that we went down with Prime? Here’s the answer: Other M.” The more traditional series — with a “harder edge,” according to Fils-Aime.
Reggie would like Other M to sell a bit more than the traditional Metroid game, however. “Metroid, for us, is a key franchise. And, in our view, really, since the SNES Metroid, we haven’t broken through in terms of 1.5, two million units, and that’s our bar,” he said. He also told GameSpot that he’s beginning to hear feedback from other companies, hoping to work with Nintendo in the same way Team Ninja is on Other M.
