WHAT THE HELL, WII ABOVE PS TRIPLE?
this cannot be right, ps3 is undertracked, wii is way overtracked. 360 is also overtracked even if its last.
okay on a more serious note, this is really something..wii doing better than ps3 in 100% sony land.
Wii sold out in Italy

Thanks prosugno360.
It doesn't surprise me that Wii outsold PS3 the week before Christmas, although Nintendo probably lost sales to the PS2 and to a lesser extent the PS3 due to being out of stock. It will be interesting to see if it managed to outsell the PS3 for the whole of December, but we still don't have November figures yet, so we probably won't know for a while.
Corriere said: MILAN - The real object of desire of Christmas 2007 is called Wii. The video game console Nintendo of this goes literally steals, to the point that the Japanese manufacturer effort since the first days of December to take back to the demands of American and British consumers. In the UK the company based in Kyoto has even decided to limit the television spot in the Christmas period because no longer stocks, while networking sites that warn flourish in real time on the alleged appearance of a Wii in this or that the island shop . The advertising game instead continue in large numbers in Italy, where as much as 27% of households already have a few games consoles and video player plays is increasingly "old" (28-year average data Aesvi). And where electronic games are confirmed the gift more tried, but without having to get a record of aspiring buyers chasing the truck deliveries, as happens in other countries.

I don't speak Italian, but Google Translate does a decent job of making it intelligible.
