Nintendo Officially the Best Seller in All Major Regions + NPD Data
June Sales Data
Nintendo Wii - 666,000
Sony PS3 - 405,000
Microsoft Xbox 360 - 219,000
With last months sales data Nintendo has officially passed the Xbox 360 sales numbers in the US making it the best selling videogame console in all major regions - NA, EU, Japan. As you can see the Wii sold twice as many units as the 360, and the trend doesn't appear to be stopping anytime soon. The PS3 finally got the MGS4 push they were looking for.
Equaling its status on a worldwide basis, Wii™ has become the best-selling video game console in the United States. According to independent sales tracking information from the NPD Group, more than 666,000 Wii consoles sold for the month of June, and nearly 10.9 million Wii consoles have been sold in the United States in the 20 months following its November 2006 launch. The system is credited with breaking down the psychological barriers between gamers and non-gamers.
For some reason this doesn't come as a surprise.
