Nintendo Wii is now the best-selling console in the world

[jesta]

"The warning signs were there, but no one expected it to happen this soon. The Financial Times is reporting that the Nintendo Wii is now the number one selling console in the world, even though the Xbox 360 enjoyed a full year head start. Based on sales data from the NPD Group, Enterbrain, and GfK, here is how the console sales break down:

* Nintendo Wii: 9 million units
* Xbox 360: 8.9 million units
* Playstation 3: 3.7 million units...

...It may be time to rethink what the mass market is actually looking for in a videogame system." Link

The Financial Times is a highly-respected international business newspaper, it's not a rumour-mill like the regular tabloids. I'd definitely trust them as a source, though I'm surprised to see the PS3 so far behind.

Could you be more "meh" about the Wii at the moment.

I saw something along the same lines that stated the Wii has become the fastest to sell one million, took 38 weeks I think?

The PS3 will probably backfire on all consoles. alot of different websites say it will at least crush the xbox 360 by the end of next year. but the Wii, probably not for a long time.

Well, I'll be buried deep into AS courses so I'm 'meh' about gaming uin general.

As we talk right now.. 4 Wii's have been bought in the past 10 minutes.. So How Many PS3's have been sold on those 10 minutes?

question... The NDS doesn't count as a console, so doesn't count in this... correct?

Does it really matter who sells more? Sales are just fanboy artillery for ' other console enemies'. As long as I get the games I want, I don't give a hoot who sells more.
