Nintendo Wii passes Microsoft Xbox 360 in Worldwide sales

Quote:

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.

:banana: Oh yeah!

not to dampen your celebration.

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

But this isn't the most accurate site....

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

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.
