Wii surpasses Xbox360
It's a milestone in this generation's console war. According to sales tracking website VGChartz, Xbox 360 has been knocked down into second place in global sales. The new winner being the Wii of course.

360 starts to eat dust.
Sunny times for Nintendo, dominating both handheld and console markets.

Gates in tears. Makes me so happy.

This is clearly an effect of Nintendo's outreach to the casual gamer. I just hope that these sales numbers will influence more 3rd parties to create better product so that the Wii will have some more content for the core gamers as well. But, regardless, hats off to the Wii for surpassing the XBox 360, which essentially has a year's head-start on the other consoles.

It was only a matter of time. Remember what old Gates said when the Wii was launched? Someone's eating their words today. Go Wii.

Man ps3, you almost made first.
Wii decimates all
10.57m, this is to all the fanboys saying the Wii sucked.

Yey! Go Nintendo.

Apparently, people could not wait as Wii sold 0.07M more consoles than 360 to proclaim victory. It may seem presumptuous, but it's going to happen anyway. I'm starting to wonder why I bought a PS3 now. FF13 may come out in 2010 and the other games don't look worth the 60 bucks that I have to part with.

OH YEAH. And look at the puny PoS3. ONLY 4.32 million systems. Nintendo once again is the dominator of the generation.

The Wii is in the house.

That is very impressive, it was a matter of time but seeing as how the 360 was released one year ahead of the Wii really says something.
yes finally
It's about time.

As great as this is, how many people have been holding off on the 360 until Halo 3 came out? I expect a huge surge in 360 sales come September. Of course, there should be another Wii surge in December, with the coming of Brawl.

Cue Nelson laugh.

And the ownage isn't going to stop there. Oh no, Nintendo's going to continue to stomp Microsoft into the ground and spit on their makeshift grave. Awesome news article, by the way.

Knew it was only a matter of time. Poor Bill Gates. Hope he doesn't lose too much sleep over something like this. Heck, he probably has a Wii too.

It is finished. Now the Wii is declared to have made the most money for per said company that we all love. Not to mention the Wii has been out half as long as the 360. Nintendo wins, and always will. 20 years of success under the belt prevails.

Finally, the day I've been waiting for - "Wii beats 360 in global sales".

3rd generation was the only sunnier time for Nintendo. And we're in 7th gen. Wow, it really has been a long time since Nintendo was doing this well.

Thanks for that, knew it would come, but it was when.

Take that Xbox. Pssh. PS3 is like a whole different story.
wiisyko
YES. That's fantastic. Keep going Nintendo.

Love the pic man.

It was only so long before this was going to happen and I'm not surprised that the PS3 is so far in last. I don't think the price drop helped too much or the "new" games for it.

Yes! Go Wii.

About time Nintendo reclaims its rightful place.

Even the Xbox360 on the cover of TIME Magazine has some (two) red rings.

And they'll stay on top too as long as they keep doing what they've been doing, having good 3rd party support and bringing out the big 1st party titles here and there as well as continuing to innovate with things like the Wii balance board. BOW DOWN TO Nintendo.

Holy crap. Amazing pic.

It's funny because the 360 came out a year early. This only proves that graphics aren't everything. What real gamers want is some good gameplay and no other company does that better than Nintendo. Sony trying to take over the handheld market is another joke, sony can't make a good handheld system. Like every other company that has tried to take Nintendo down in handheld gaming, they have failed.
