Wii achieved tremendous sales in just a month. Xbox 360 sales were enough to give it 10 million flat total, while PS3 barely moved an inch. From the last console sales chart, the numbers were:

  • 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)

That was May 17, 2007. Now, Wii is riding its momentum and gained the highest increase – a whopping one million units sold, in just a month. Here are the numbers:

  • Xbox 360: 10.00m (0.39m Japan, 6.40m America, 3.21m Others)
  • Wii: 8.10 (2.64m Japan, 3.29m America, 2.17m Others)
  • PS3: 3.42m (0.94m Japan, 1.49m America, 0.99 Others)

Microsoft‘s machine sold around 300,000 units worldwide, while Sony‘s underdog got 111,000. At this rate, Nintendo could take the lead in a month. Looking at the graph above, 360’s headstart does nothing to weaken Wii.

Halo 3 is right around the corner, while some hot games are coming for PS3; it’s probably too early to decide, so hold on to your horses. Only time will tell if analysts are right, if Wii is just a fad and the PS3 will take over in a few years.
