Vgchartz.com reports that as of August 23rd the Wii has surpassed Xbox 360 in total amount of worldwide sales. This marks a kinda historic moment as Nintendo becomes the console leader. This is the first time since 1994 when the Gameboy and SNES reigned over the video game world. The official numbers are 10.57 million Wii’s compared to the 10.51 million Xbox 360’s and 4.32 million Ps3’s. This number will also only continue to grow with the holiday season coming up and a myriad of Wii titles that are coming in the next year. The Xbox 360 still has a lead in America, but it is far behind in Japan compared to the Wii and even the PS3. The numbers also show how far behind the PS3 compared to the other two consoles. With the Wii captivating hardcore gamers all the way to people that have never played video games, that doesn’t leave much room for the Xbox 360 and PS3 to grow their marketshare.
