Well, you should all be used to this (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/npd) by now. Sound the trumpets and all that, Nintendo dominated the U.S. market yet another month, proving Pachter's prediction (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/13/pachter-wii-owned-in-april-despite-gta-iv-release/) right. Even though that Grand Theft Auto IV (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/gtaiv) game released in April, Mario Kart Wii (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/07/cowboy-jed-implores-you-to-look-at-more-footage/) was still in the running. But, before we get to software sales, we should probably check the hardware charts.
