VG Chartz: Wii just 1.28 million behind Xbox 360
Hot in the news is the estimated worldwide sales numbers for Nintendo’s new-gen console, which just hit a mark less than two million to the Xbox 360’s current sales count. The Wii is now just 1.28 million units shy of taking the lead in the hardware base establishment race, reports VG Chartz, a source for worldwide console sales.
And what’s more, third-party onlookers note that if this month’s sales continue in similar numbers, the Wii could well zoom over all the high-powered next-gen consoles in eight to nine weeks or late August 2007. If rendered true, the Wii will have swatted all console race analysts’ predictions to date. The Nintendo DS still outruns the PlayStation Portable, while the PlayStation 3 is slowly making its way up in its ten-year marathon.
However, numbers in Nexgen Wars have different estimates for the worldwide sales for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. So it would appear that nothing is etched in stone until the three console companies come forward with their quarterly sales numbers, hopefully at the same time they release their Q3 2007 financial performance reports.
Consoles (numbers in millions):
Xbox 360 – Worldwide: 10.13; Japan: 0.41; America: 6:47; Others: 3.25
PlayStation 3 – Worldwide: 3.61; Japan: 0.98 ; America: 1.56; Others: 1.07
Wii – Worldwide: 8.85; Japan: 2.91; America: 3.57; Others: 2.37
Handhelds (numbers in millions):
DS – Worldwide: 45.36; Japan: 18.01; America: 13.03; Others: 14.32
PSP – Worldwide: 22.34; Japan: 5.71; America: 8.58; Others: 8.05
