Another month goes by and another pile of Nintendo hardware and software is sold in the U.S. Once again the DS(i) and Wii took the top two spots, selling over 922,000 units between them. The Wii has now sold over 20 million units in North America since its release.
The Xbox 360 still maintains its lead over the PS3 in third place and surprisingly the PS2 is still outselling the PSP which may see sales decline even further now the PSP Go has been revealed.
Nintendo DS 633,500
Wii 289,500

PlayStation 3 131,000

When the Wii and the wiimote first made their debut in 2006, rivals Microsoft and Sony stated that the new motion controls were a “gimmick” and a “fad” that people would soon get bored of.
In a very short time Nintendo proved both of their competitors wrong as month after month the Wii outsold both Xbox 360 and PS3 worldwide. In fact it was only Christmas 2008 that supply finally met demand which was an unprecedented achievement for a video game console.
Not surprisingly because of this success and the expanded audience the Wii created, Microsoft and Sony have announced their own take on motion controls, albeit 3 years after the Wii debuted.
Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata is not surprised by their competitors actions though he is surprised it has taken them this long to announce motion controls, let alone them being near market release:
“To tell the truth, I expected them to come up with stuff like this last year. So in my mind they’re later than expected. I’d like to say to them, ‘Welcome to the motion-control world!”
