According to market research firm NPD, the Wii was the top-selling video game console in the United States in February. Here is overall list:
| Console | Sales (units) |
|---|---|
| Wii | 335,000 |
| Playstation 2 | 295,000 |
| XBOX 360 | 228,000 |
| Playstation 3 | 127,000 |
The Wii has more than double the sales of the PS3. To me that is a trend I see continuing - the Wii is going to end up being the best-selling console for 2007. I'd bet that despite for a few hardcore gamers who disdain the Wii, most PS3 buyers will have a Wii eventually because it's such an easy console for friends and family to play.

Are we even sure those numbers are correct??? I mean honestly, the console is in such low availability that I find it hard for them to actually have shipped that many units.

I can't vouch for the integrity of the numbers myself, however since Nintendo backed them up in it's press release I believe them. They have to be aware of how many consoles they have shipped to the US.
