SEATTLE (AP) -- Amazon.com said Wednesday its 2007 holiday season was its strongest to date, with Nintendo Wii game systems and the "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" DVD among its top-selling products.

The online retailer said it sold about 17 Nintendo Wiis per second when the product was available. The fifth Harry Potter movie led DVD sales, followed by "Planet Earth: The Complete BBC Series" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End."

Other products that sold well included Garmin GPS systems, the Apple MacBook and KitchenAid stand mixers.

Amazon.com's (AMZN, Fortune 500) said it experienced its strongest holiday sales on Dec. 10, as customers ordered more than 5.4 million items, or 62.5 items per second. The company shipped products to more than 200 countries, with more than 3.9 million units sent on its peak day.

in the time it took me to post this comment, 85 wiis were sold.

Confirmation that the Wii will sell 536,112,000 units next year?

hmmm, my math came out with 32,166,720,000/year.
OVER 32 BILLIONS!

9000 is so last year.

well there are approximately 431,679,809,125 seconds in one year, cross multiply the denominator of the quotient and times the gradient by a factor of 12 to the power of 4, divided by the sum of π and we're looking at 9,679,876,254, 871,009 wii's sold by the end of next year.
