From Wikipedia:

“Nintendo Company, Limited ( is a Japanese multinational corporation originally founded on September 23, 1889 in Kyoto, Japan by Fusajiro Yamauchi to produce handmade hanafuda cards. In the mid-twentieth century, the company tried several small niche businesses, such as a love hotel and a taxi company.Over the years, it became a video game company, growing into one of the most powerful in the industry. Aside from video games, Nintendo is also the majority owner of the Seattle Mariners, a Major League Baseball team in Seattle, Washington. They also are the partial owner of the Atlanta Hawks, an NBA team in Atlanta, Georgia.

Nintendo has the distinction of historically being both the oldest intact company in the video game console market and one of the largest and well-known console manufacturers, as well as being the dominant entity in the handheld console market. As of December 1, 2006, Nintendo has sold over 387 million hardware units, and nearly 2.2 billion software units worldwide.”

If this is for school, PLEASE do NOT USE WIKIPEDIA FOR RESEARCH! EVER! It’s not a credible resource. The only good thing about Wikipedia is that you can check the bottom of the page to see where the author of the Wiki article got their info from. Then, you can follow those links to an actual, credible resource. Taking info straight from Wikipedia is like using your friend’s essay on AIDS as a reference material for your essay on incurable diseases. /end rant
