Its still all guesstimates since NPD stopped in July but as noted the Wii was selling more then the 360 anyway and probably sold more this month too

QUOTE
Since it's a pretty big milestone, I've decided to post this in its own thread. This is taken from GAF numbers (compiled in the takeover thread) and not VG Chartz. All hail our new Nintendo overloads! All hail the waggle!

Wii

Australia - 138,192
Europe - 2,870,000
Japan - 3,424,139
Canada - 313,956
US - 3,615,000

TOTAL - 10,361,287
______

360
Australia - 195,056
Europe - 3,250,000
Japan - 402,381
Canada - 403,500
US - 5,950,000

TOTAL - 10,200,937

DISCLAIMER: Europe numbers have been compiled with our best guestimates using numbers released in the past and today's numbers. If you still want to dispute those, you should be aware that NPD stops in July and does not include August data which statistically, puts the Wii ahead of the 360 either way. The Wii's "win" is actually a lot bigger than what is posted here.

SIDE NOTE: It's quite possible the the Wii hit 10 million right before the 360 did.

Nextgenwars .com has it differently though they estimated the 360 at 11 million.

edit estimated PS3 numbers

PS3

Australia: 66,503
Europe - 1,300,000
Japan - 1,085,019
Canada - 84,584
US - 1,609,000

TOTAL - 4,145,106

So much for people saying PS3 would beat the 360.

This wasnt unexpected.
From the japanese sales charts one can see that the Wii outsells 360 almost 18 to 1 and the PS3 about 4 to 1.
Once again Nintendo is the leader in the race(though i dont think they'll stay there forever if they dont get some more games for the Wii)

360 still number one in Canada. I frankly hate th Wii. It's a horrible concept. Who wants to get up and move around to play video games? Most people play video games when they are too lazy to do anything else. Why the f*ck should I have to get up and swing around my arms just to play a flipping game. Might aswell go outside and actually do something, it take the same amount of frigging energy.

I also hate how Nintendo has gone more "family friendly". There is only a couple of good games for the Wii, and the rest are kiddy. And the commercials with the entire family playing a Wii. WTF? Besides pwning your little brother in Halo, who wants to play video games with the rest of their family? To me, my video game time is my "Back away or I'll bite off your fingers off" time.

Sorry about my little rant explosion, but it's been bottled up for a while. And I dread the nasty replies I will get from all the crazed Nintendo fan-boys. *flinches*

See why do you have bottled up anger of the wii in the first place you don't own it, you don't play it, you should be care free of it.

So what it makes people move its a game. Video games is more of a hobby actually a time waster not something you do cause your lazy. Well for me at least i play video game cause i want to play video games not because I'm lazy, when I'm lazy I don't even want to play games.

Well, your post could be seen as that of a 360 fanboy, its only natural that fanboys from the other consoles will come out to attack. lol.

I can see where this thread may be heading and I would like too remind everyone that we all have differeing gaming preferences and if someone disagress with yours thats ok, there is no need to attack them or the console and games of their choice. Please keep the discussion to the sales figures. thumbsup.gif

I just enjoy the gifs. They make me laugh. And PS3 has some games I want. Like Ratchet and Clank, and hopefully the next Jak and Daxter. 360 has no platformers........period and that makes me sad.

Daxter King
I have heard Two Worlds sucks. Though I love Dead Rising.
mouse888
i have all 3 consoles
360 has the better games at the moment
ps3 good graphics but only in hd
the problem with the above is they don't move on and evolve as for the wii its more active makes you feel the part and wouldn't it be great if they made the googles, now that would be interesting
