GfK Australia has confirmed that Nintendo was the console winner in 2007, selling more than one million Nintendo DS units and over 300,000 Nintendo Wii units since launch, making the two consoles the fastest-selling to reach these goals in history.

The Nintendo DS reached this goal in 153 weeks while the Nintendo Wii reached its goal in 58 weeks.

In December, 133,691 Nintendo DS units were sold.

The Wii was the second-highest selling console in December, selling 73,318 units.

Six of the titles featured in the top 10 console games for 2007 were Nintendo titles. These titles were Pokémon Diamond, Brain Training, Pokémon Pearl, More Brain Training, nintendogs Dalmatian & Friends and Super Mario Galaxy.
