Nintendo Wii passes Microsoft Xbox 360 in Worldwide sales

[GameMaster]

Two years ago, very few analysts would have predicted the Nintendo Wii would be market leader this generation against the established Playstation and Xbox brands. But analysts can be in error: Vgchartz.com data, which is based on sample data from retailers all over the world indicates that the week ending August 23rd Nintendo's Wii (which was released one year after the Xbox 360 in November 2006), currently standing at 10.57 million consoles sold, passed Xbox 360 lifetime sales of 10.51 million units, making Nintendo the new market leader in both the home and handheld videogame console businesses.

As I am pretty sure this will happen sooner or later.

No site is accurate. It's all guessing anyway.

Well in this case..

We get real.. maybe not 100% accurate numbers from NPD, Media Crates and several other sources.

Well bottom line, it was going to happen sooner or later anyways. Which is really amazing actually, I didnt think Nintendo would ever really return to their days of former glory, but it seems they pretty much have.

Yeah, all that's missing are some good games.
