| Wii Are the Champions
So, it seems sales of the Wii are surpassing that of Xbox 360 soon (which has been out for much longer).
Another fun leap... in the newest update they've added support on the Wii for USB keyboards, making internet browsing and F.net posting (  ) much more accesible on the Wii.
Nintendo is on a roll... I wonder if they can keep it going...?

| They need to make a HD version of the Wii.
There's an outstanding bet between a few of my friends on how long it is before I break down and buy one anyway. | |

| If you are talking worldwide sales, the Wii surpassed the 360 in August.

| I think the article I had read was in regards to sales in North America, but I'm not too sure...
(Gawd, this USB keyboard update rocks! )

| Not enough beheadings for the Wii. And Red Steel doesn't count. | |

| Actually, 360 sales were higher than Wii sales for last month. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post...umber-one.html
Xbox 360 sold 527,000 units, a huge leap from the 276,700 sold last month.
The Wii sold 501,000 units
Wii will probably return to 1st place next month, or maybe in January. However, sales are unlikely to substantially increase until they can ship more. Right now they're selling faster than they show up on store shelves. | |

| Yup, Halo 3 managed to push some 360s. However, no game will move consoles like that for the 360 for a bit, and nintendo has such things as mario galaxy.

| The Wii is selling well. But unless Wii third party software attach rates go up, I'm afraid the only quality titles will be Nintendo's own( and Zelda was available on the cube, so I played it there). I'm still waiting to see how this shakes out before I buy. Wii sports and such don't interest me and I can barely keep up with the avalanche of titles on the 360.
