Now all of these can not be taken serious since it does come from a Nintendo presentation but even given a huge margin of error, it would still be pretty impressive.

First 18 months Software:
Wii: 50.000.000
PS2: 42.000.000
360: 30.000.000
XBX: 28.000.000
PS3: 20.000.000
First 18 months Hardware:
Wii: 9.500.000
PS2: 8.500.000
360: 5.200.000
PS3: 4.200.000
Tie Ratio:
360: 5,77
Wii: 5,26
PS2: 4,94
PS3: 4,76
Granted this only covers the first 18 months of each console so that 360 has an additonal 12 months to be added to the total. But still given similar time frame, the Wii does well for itself.
And even though mentioned in the article shall point out that Wii Play does count, but Wii Sports/VC doesn't.
