I think Ps3 would of sold more if not for the shortage here in the US, I think over 1 million.

I'm sure it is the case.

Those are some good hardware numbers. Not entirely unexpected in any case, but really good.

Did Wii set a record for itself this week?

The real story here is Mario. Holy shit.

it's insignificant comparing to PS3 selling over 900K+ again.

Curious why the Wii outselling the PS3 is insignificant.

Obviously a console being just shy of 2million sales in 1 week is of absolutely no importance whatsoever...

that was not how I feel but rather an observation I had.

if you read through all threads about how PS3 sold 1 mil last week and how much it sold this week, you'll notice that people are making a very big deal on the sales for PS3 now. However, it's just another week for Wii whenever it's brought up how well Wii is doing.

That's the thing though. The Wii sells amazingly every year.

In 2006, the Wii sold amazingly. In 2007, the Wii sold amazingly. In 2008, the Wii embarrassed the HD consoles over and over and took the holiday season by storm. And in 2009, it did the same. We're used to the Wii selling tremendously well, and it has already run away with an easy first place among home consoles. There's no real excitement because it doesn't have extreme ups and downs like the HD consoles do. The reason PS3 sales are so interesting is because they went from being very low to tremendously high, with doom and gloom replaced with optimisn and cheer. The Wii may have had some shaky sales at some points this year, but it was always selling very well.

And some people in this thread need to cut down the fanboyism. It's just a gaming system, damn.

I agree that Wii has always been selling really well, but this could be a record breaking week (and probably month). People laughed at/bashed ioi a few months ago when he said Wii would have a better December this year than last year with no supply issue since Wii has peaked last year. Then again we have to wait for NPD numbers to confirm.
