Why are we talking about the Wii and Wii U?
Unrelated console is unrelated
Hello, welcome to GBATemp, where the Nintendo agenda is overwhelming and whenever a thread about the competition pops up, the fans feel the immediate and irresistible need to mention fun facts about Nintendo for no apparent reason.

yea good to see sony on a Solid 2nd place
EDIT: Just a little correction here - I have a Wii and it's a fun console, but it has but a handful of entertaining games and it was far, far behind the competition tech-wise. Sales-wise it wins the race, yay for Wii I suppose, but it's a shame that it didn't have contemporary specs and by proxy "missed" a lot of fun multiplatform releases.

Ah I was waiting for you to show up here, what a fanboy. Do Ninty give you a paycheck for such a service? I'm curious!

Good to see the ps3 on the first place among the real current gen HD consoles, SONY do have merit. :)

Well at least there will be a lot of second hand ones out there when I finally get around to getting myself one.

An interesting enough factoid as well, were we to go digging deeper I would not mind a by region breakdown and assumed install base.

Wow, that's seem serious ground made up by Sony.

And since everyone else seems to be doing it, it's only 20Mil sales until it gets to the Wii's level, wonder it could manage that.

Shipment =/= Sales, XBox 360 gets raped in Japan too, not even funny. I think you have to commit seppuku for owning one there.

Sales numbers are still:

63.7million XBox
60.5million PS3
93.6million Wii : Just because fanboys/girls of all consoles are here

And console sales don't mean one is better than the other. If you think the Xbox is superior to the PS3 or vice versa, you're kidding yourself. If you own both consoles, you should notice where one lacks, the other makes up for it.

An ideal situation is owning all consoles in a given generation as well as a relatively contemporary PC - that way you get the full spectrum, yes.
