We’ve been saying if for some time now that Wii was looking to beat the leading Xbox 360 in hardware sales before the end of the year if the positive sales continued. I guess we even underestimated the console as it has now sold more consoles worldwide than the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 was launched at Chrimstas time back in 2005 and has sold more than 10.51 million units so far. The Wii was launched a year later, but thanks to extremely good sales, has been able to sell more than 10.57 million units. Wii has been outselling the Xbox 360 with a ratio of 2.3:1 according to VGChartz.com, and even managed to outsell the ever so popular PlayStation 2, even though Wii sold out every shipment.
There’s no telling where this will as apparently the broad appeal of the small console with the innovative controller certainly seems to be a hit. Analysts were certainly wrong about this one.
