Zangief’s always struck us as a perpetual sourpuss, but he — and the rest of the Street Fighter IV crew — must be cracking polygonal smiles right about now. So are Capcom’s accountants, sans the polygons (we think).

Chew on this: Call of Duty: World at War had greater combined US sales on current-gen consoles in its first three months of release than did Call of Duty 4 . World at War achieved this milestone despite COD4 outselling it by nearly 400,000 Xbox 360 units during the comparable months. A rise in PS3 sales from COD4 to World at War — just over 130,000 units — helped to slightly offset this difference, but the introduction of a Wii version of World at War ( COD4 had no such entry) tipped the scales in favor of the latest Call of Duty entry.

Nintendo issued a celebratory press release following the announcement of the NPD numbers last night, pointing out an impressive statistic: “While the video game industry grew by $150 million (12 percent) year-on-year, Nintendo’s total sales grew by $300 million in January, offsetting declines on other platforms.” Nintendo is basically compensating for the whole industry’s decline at this point, at least in terms of financial growth. No doubt Nintendo is pleased to have a new angle to talk about in its monthly statement of how awesome it is. The company said that sales of the Wii grew 148 percent in January 2009 over January 2008, and DS sales grew 99 percent.
