Forums - Sales - Historical Question

Has there ever been a console (not a handheld) that had two consecutive weeks of 1,000,000+ in worldwide sales?  Was the Wii the first to do this or did the PS2 accomplish this in its heyday? 

Also, do you guys think it will make it 3 straight weeks?  or even 4-5?  Supply will probably catch up to it one of those weeks (hitting .9 mil or something); but then again, it could always rebound and come damn close to 2 mil if it follows last years pattern...

Not sure about the first part. (PS2 sales)

If there is enough supply, Wii should easily have 5 consecutive weeks of 1M+ sales.



The PS2 accomplished this many years ago and I think its record is actually 5 weeks running which the Wii should be able to tie this year.
