It still has to sell a couple of millions to reach the PS3, but it's quite amazing for it to almost sell as much as a console.

You know you're a sells giant when a single periphral on your platform outsells the competition.

No the Wii BB hasn't outsold the PS3 yet. Nintendo said in their last fiscal year earnings report that they sold 28 million Balance Boards. So the PS3 still has a 3 to 5 million lead.

It's just still something when it's even that close.

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

So, is Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus with balance board really sold out everywhere? All the places I have looked do not have it: Gamestop, Amazon (the real $99 one), Best Buy (not available online), Walmart.com, target, newegg...

Edit: Toys R Us, Sears, Kmart...
