As I continue to prepare my massive mid year article, I occassionally run into things which are worth discussing right now. Today I noticed the following: Wii will likely hit 5 million sold worldwide (just in 2007) by June 4.

...

For comparison, PS3 will pass 2.25 million this coming week, and 360 will pass 2.1 milion this coming week for the year to date.

...

Microsoft to have sold 2.6 about million 360s, and Sony to have sold 2.45 million PS3s.

 

I find it amazing that Sony has lost so much momentum. The only reason they are where they are (for this year), is the 1m sold in the Europe launch (and according to the charts, the PS3 has STILL not sold 1m in Europe??).

If you would have told me that the PS3 will only sell 1.5m units in the US AND Japan in the first 6 months of 2007... I would have laughed at you!

That's an average of 20k / week / per territory (US/Japan only). 

That's close to what the Wii does in a month (and only limited because of production restrictions).
