Nintendo Wii sales gets past the seven million mark, PS3 still far behind

  

Since its American release last November 19, we all know that the Wii has gone a long way. Retail sales figure show that Nintendo is ahead by almost four million units against Sony‘s PS3, but is still trailing the Xbox 360 by roughly two and a half million units . Here are the details:

• Xbox 360: 9.71m (0.39M Japan, 6.17m America, 3.16m Others)
• Wii: 7.09m (2.46m Japan, 2.84m America, 1.79m Others)
• PS3: 3.31m (0.91m Japan, 1.44m America, 0.96m Others)

Xbox 360 is still ahead thanks to the earlier release advantage, but the Wii isn’t too far behind. Most would agree that Wii is the casual gamer’s choice; its relatively low cost and games aimed for everyone could easily push Nintendo’s gimmicky console to the top.

While the PS3 is lagging far behind, it’s too early to say that they’ve lost the console wars. After all, Sony claims that their hefty console will be kicking for 10 years. With big third party game developers backing them up such as Konami, Capcom, and Square Enix, the war has just begun.
