Wii Outsells 360, PS3 Worldwide

Posted by Zonk on from the top-dog-has-a-waggle dept.

Wowzer writes "Despite confusing consoles produced, shipped or sold reports, the Nintendo Wii is now the best-selling system worldwide. Its sales exceed that of the Xbox 360 despite Microsoft's console having a year-long head start. And it's way ahead of the PS3. From the article: 'Sales figures from each console's launch date through the end of July (and the end of August in Japan) were added up, with the Wii just barely edging out the 360: 9 million for the Wii, 8.9 million for the 360, and 3.7 million for the PlayStation 3.'"

    Serious question: how did you invest in them? I was actually looking at buying their stock before the Wii launch (I made the same correct call you did), but was stymied by the fact that it was on the Japanese stockmarket and had big fixed costs for foreigners.
