Nintendo has confirmed that worldwide DS sales are down 44.7% year on year to 3.15 million for Q1 of this financial year, which ended 30th June 2010. DS software sales have gone down by 22.9% to 22.42 million. On the flip side, Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Wii has sold 4.06 million copies worldwide since its May/June release. That helped Wii hardware sales to go up 36.6% to 3.04 million in Q1. Despite this, Wii software dropped 9.3% to 28.17 million.

The company admitted a net loss of 25.2 billion yen (£183 million), with net sales down 25.6% to 188.6 billion yen. 86.6% of that is thanks to overseas markets, with a mind bending foreign exchange loss of 70.5 billion yen (£517 million).
