Wii Is the New US Console Leader

Posted by timothy on from the depends-who's-counting-and-how dept.

stoolpigeon writes with this snippet from an AFP story carried by Google: "Nintendo said Thursday that its globally popular Wii has become the top-selling video game console in the United States, a crown coveted by rivals Microsoft and Sony. Market-tracking firm NPD Group reports that 666,000 Wii consoles were sold in the United States in June, raising the total sales count in the country to nearly 10.9 million units." I'd rather play board games than video games, but the Wii Fit makes one of these tempting anyhow.

    Shouldn't the title be "Wii Are the New US Console Leaders"?

      A shorter, juicier title would be: Wii Are The Champions, My Friends
