Your article also says 6 games in the top 10 come with a accessory, so 2 more titles in the top 10 are probably versions of Rock Band or Guitar Hero. Did Guitar Hero Aerosmith ship with a guitar? Also Rock Band Wii might be a possible candidate for one of those positions considering it launched last month.

Wii should be close to 1M now with these kind of monthly sales. They probably didn't reach it yet, cause it seems to be something worth mentioning, but they must be very close now (they were at 813k in March). Hopefully we'll get some more numbers from other sources and a completely top 10/20.

Yes, I think Wii will pass 1m in July:

So with a small amount of estimation for Wii & 360 we get:

Wii: ~990,000
360: ~840,000
PS3: 487,000

^Thanks BKK2... I guess that means even you don't know anything about April at all, and only snippets from Feb through May.



Those are really great Mario Kart sales considering the game has never been sold out, stores are also advertising wii fit shipments all the time.

Well, Wii sold 57k in April, but that's about it.

We can also see how 360 & PS3 compared over the three months to April:

Feb-Apr:

PS3: 82,600
360: 63,600

PS3 is catching Xbox360 alot faster in Canada then USA.



^ it's catching, but at a very slow pace compared to 360's lead. I think it's practically impossible for PS3 to catch 360 in US, but maybe it can catch it in Canada in a few years time.
