Great sales all round for Nintendo. The Wii is outselling the DS, and almost beating the combined sales of the 360 and PS3!

 

On the software front, Metroid Prime sold incredibly well considering that when this data came in (end of August) it had only been out 4 days!

I wonder if the Wii will still manage to outsell the 360 next month. It will be interesting to see what happens. I hope MP3 will continue to sell at this rate through September, it's doing better than MP2 until now.

 

Yeah with Halo 3 just around the corner ( wooo! I cant wait ) there will be a spike in sales for the 360 console, whether they will last though is another matter.

 

The thing that you have to remember though is that the Wii is STILL hard to get ahold of over in yankee land. Over here I think the stock has stablizied and you can go into a GAME store and pick one up but over there its still a mad rush when the stock arrives.

 

I hope they sort it out for the release of Smash as Im sure the Wii will do massive numbers when that is unleashed.
