Even allowing for the 2 missing months, does this mean that the Wii has almost caught the 360? Holy crap if yes.

How sad for the PS3 Smilie Even the GBA beat it.

oldschool, check vgchartz.com 10.43m for 360, 10.41m for Wii.

Once the Japanese sales for this week are included the Wii should have overtaken the 360 (by their reckoning anyway).

nexgenwars.com pegs it at 11.03m for 360 and 9.96m for Wii

That's mean sales of 10.71m for 360 and 10.19m for Wii. Any interested statisticians may like to note that the 95% confidence intervals are +/- 0.83m for 360 and +/- 0.62m for Wii. In other words, based on the sources we have, the sales are not statistically different.

Very interesting Dr_R. I like that it appears only America really bought the PSP and that has being dying - most bought in the first 6 months of it.

No matter when the Wii takes a world lead - the fanboys will still decry that it isn't a real console, but rather, a toy. Once more I fart in their general direction. That is what they said about the DS.

I don't think Wii Play would be selling as well if it didn't have the free Wiimote packaged with it. On the other hand, if it were a standalone and only cost $10, it would probably still do well.

Well, I only bought it for the extra controller. The game was a cheap bonus and a bit of fun.

I hope that they have other game/controller packs because eventually I will want 4 controllers.

Nintendo and Guitar Hero own Canada.
