Oh and I should also add the Lifetime sales here in America according to the NPD as of the end of May.

X360 - 10,270,000
Wii - 10,180,000
PS3 - 4,450,000

According to this, the 360 only had a 90,000 unit advantage over the Wii by the end of May.  This means that the Wii has overtaken the 360 by now since it's already mid June here in North America, and next months NPD will provide the factual proof.  This means the Wii is now the offical market leader in every single major territory in the world.

5 Wii games in the top 10, and 2 DS games! Also, NPD said that We Ski was number 12.

Isn't that a bit unfair considering GTAIV came out on the 29th of the month. We may see something completely different next month when the numbers tell the story of how GTAIV impacted console sales.

Maybe 360 and PS3 sales will be better in May...

This thread is fanboi thread of the year.  These are some serious early judgments from two time losers.

Seriously guys, wait for May.

Whoops, I forgot your quote, GP... =3

Quote from: Bill Aurion
Seriously, this isn't even being fanboyish at this point...It's almost 3 million sales for sub-400K system sales...GTA will probably sell another 3 million or more next month but there won't be much change in hardware...

It appears I completely OVER-estimated GTA's selling power...It didn't even sell half that...

I wonder who is the leader in the Antarctic market these days. Well, I'm just joking, but I guess a few people at that research station down there might be playing video games... at the bottom of the Earth.

Also, do people play video games in the 3rd world? Obviously not  everyone does, but there's gotta be a handful of rich people in Africa and the middle-east who do. I wonder what their console of choice is.

Wow big drop for Wii hardware there, and Wii Fit a giant flop. What a disaster. Only like 4 games even sold. VERY slow month. HUGELY worrying for the industry that NOBODY is buying non Wii Play - Fit games. I'm embarrassed to be a Wii owner. The world is falling apart, this will surely set the stage for another world war.

http://www.vgchartz.com/

Wii:           27.42 million

XBOX360:  19.13 million

PS3:          13.26 million

Keep in mind vgchartz includes Canada as part of the "America" estimation while NPD number is about the US.

But how could this be?! I thought Nintendo was Kiddiieididiiiiiieeee!!!!


/sarcasm

It's just too bad we can't see pictures or video of people reacting in shock and horror at Nintendo becoming the market leader in EVERY territory, despite the predictions of so many analysts 2 years ago. That would be a fun sight to see. Does anyone have any quotes or anything by people being shocked or angered to see Nintendo's success? Those would probably make an amusing read. :)

The collective cries of the hardcore interweb would crash this thread.

I think it's brilliant that Nintendo got rid of their nsider forums, so they wouldn't have to hear any of it on their own bandwidth.

Ubisoft didn't learn soon enough.

Wow Sony catching up BIG TIME. That's quite concerning. Seems over for the 360 now, being destroyed by the gods of Sony in all territories. I can't believe how many stupid people are buying PS3s. The system looks set to totally take over the world and dominate the industry with its ten year plan.

Forget America, welcome to Australia, or as it's now known, Nintendo land. And yes MGS4 is out here.

Wii is officially the number 1 selling console in North America now.

It's also interesting to see that GTA4 is already out of the top 10. I thought it would stay there at least through this holiday season.
