http://www.dmwmedia.com/news/2007/02/21/report-nintendo-wii-leads-u-s-game-console-sales-in-january San Francisco - Nintendo's Wii was the top-selling video game console in the U.S. in January, followed by Sony's PlayStation 2, Microsoft's Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing sales data from market research firm NPD Group.
The Wii sold 436,000 units during the month, compared with sales of 299,000 of Sony's older PlayStation 2 console, 294,000 Xbox 360s and 244,000 PlayStation 3s.
Overall, video game hardware and software sales in January totaled $1.3 billion.
Game sales totaled $549 million for the month. Leading the pack was Capcom's "Lost Planet: Extreme Condition," followed by Activision's "Guitar Hero 2," Microsoft's "Gears of War" and Nintendo's "WarioWare: Smooth Moves" and "Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess."
Wii will dominate for awhile, I dont see sales dying down anytime soon. It would be a different story if you could go into any store and buy one. But that definately isnt the case with the Wii...
it's also good for the Wii that you can STILL pretty much never find a Wii in stock, anywhere in the country, and it still is the #1 selling console in the US, beating out the PS2. Demand is still huge, despite high number of consoles sold. HTFH.Â
All Nintendo has to do is keep up with demand. Apparently Reggie said there was a DS shortage. (I was reading this in another topic) The Wii and DS are being gobbled up in Japan and it's just about the same over here.
I believe that the PS2s sales will start to slow down alot more as this year passes by. With over 100 million sold I think it would be safe to say that they have already saturated the market around the world, but yeah this is still pretty good for the wii :)

This coming from the guy who claimed that the 360 would outsell both the DS and the Wii. :roll: I did? You dont think a casual phenominon like the Wii would sell?

Yeah, you did. :| You claimed that because you were a Neogaf member, that, for some reason, you had more credibility - right before you claimed that the 360 would outsell both the DS and Wii.
Definitely true. I think that the PS2 is the best system ever made. So many good times with my PS2. Wish they had followed the same formula with the PS3, but Sony is run by a bunch of idiots.
