The Wii has seen drops in both hardware and software over the last 12 months, as Nintendo's latest financial results reveal detailed statistics for the full financial year. According to Nintendo Wii sales lagged noticeably for the first half of the year, picking up in the Christmas gift-giving season. The home console still registered sales of 20.53 million over the year though, for a lifetime worldwide total of 70.93 million - the largest cumulative unit sales performance for any Nintendo home console. Hardware sales in Japan picked up slightly from 2.06 million to 2.38 million over the course of the financial year, but fell in the West. Sales in the Americas dropped from 12.93 million to 9.86 million and in the rest of the world from 10.96 million to 8.30 million. While admitting that that it had failed to release enough prominent new titles in the first half of the year, Nintendo saw software sales pick up in the second half.
