Forums - Sales - NPD: Wii Surpasses Xbox 360 As New Console Leader In U.S.

Neos on 17 July 2008

Nintendo just broke word that the Wii has overtaken the Xbox 360 as the best selling current-generation console in the United States, with a 10.9 million strong install base, according to the NPD Group. That means Nintendo sold at least 700,000 Wiis in the country in June. We're waiting on final NPD numbers for all console manufacturers, expected later in the day. As of last month, the previous hardware champ, the Xbox 360, stood strong at 10.2 million units sold.

We have yet to get comment from Nintendo of America, but will assume for now that they're pleased.

Lies. We all know that the first console to make it to 10 million always wins.

Umm...about time lol. The Wii passed the 360 a long time ago using VGC's numbers >_>

VGC = all N-america. We know canada favors the wii so that's why we had that earlier.

If the 10.9 million numbers is true then that means Nintendo sold 800,000 in June, considering they were at 10.1 million at the end of May.

The MS conference said that they were at 10.2 and MS was at 10.3
