enjoy the moment, cause as of right now, the Wii is ever so close to tieing the 360 in worldwide sales.

yeah is was approaching 9 million in June. It may be nearing 10 million already, especially with those crazy Japan sales. I really dont think Nintendo expected this kind of success. They probably expected it to sell a bit better than Gamecube. I remember them saying as long as it outsells gamecube it will be considered a success. the goddamned thing is almost halfway there in 8 months!

Yeah, it is shocking overall.
The Wii sold 3/4ths of gamecube's Japan numbers within 1/7th of the time.
It sold 1/2 of the Gamecube lifetime sales in 8 months, which is way ahead of schedule.

we can we expect US NPD? shouldn't we have gotten them by now?
According to this from Forbes (http://www.forbes.com/2007/07/12/games-nintendo-wii-tech-cx_0712nintendo.html?partner=msn), the Wii has passed the 10 million mark. There is no doubt now that the Wii will pass the Xbox 360 by the end of summer.
Even if the Forbes report is wrong, the Wii should be at about 9 million once we get the US numbers for June.

Exactly, maybe if we are lucky the PS3 vs. GBA would be more fair in the USA.
Hcoregamer00 said:
By my reckoning,
End of April:
360 - 9.3 million
WII - 6.9 million
PS3 - 3.1 million
I'm estimating PAL/Other numbers by what information we get, which is surprisingly a lot when you put it all together. Other than that, everything is known except for March Canadian numbers.

I really don't understand this mentality. Reawrding a kid with a videogame console for doing well is probably the surest way to ensure that his grades go in the shitter by next semester.
I should know, it happened to me.

Confirmed Wii numbers:
North America (mostly just US and Canada, bout does include the first week of sales in Mexico and Central America, but is missing March numbers for Canada): 3,174,280 as of July 7 (that includes Canada sales for June, not US since we get those on Monday)
Japan: 3,059,633 as of July 15
Europe (obviously not as good as the other territories in terms of reports): 2 million as of April 13 (the last time we got actual numbers)
Australia: 106,538 as of June 30/New Zealand: 6,000 as of May 30

Expect Canadian July numbers to show GBA > PS3 again, even with the PS3 price drop. Why? It seems EBGames across Canada (although not all of them, but some in Calgary and Ontario) have a GBA (Micro) sale to $29.99 and GBA SP is $29.99 at some stores too. Looks like they're clearing stock since most people would otherwise opt for the DS Lite which can play GBA games anyways for $50 more (over the regular GBA price).

I'm kind of surprised that Activision haven't shown the Wii version yet.

The sources are listed at Wikipedia (I helped get the Wii article up to featured status and was the one who updated the numbers on a regular basis until I stopped editing last week), but basically:
North America numbers are from NPD reports
Japan from Media Create
Europe number from this http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5228&Itemid=2 (the same report announcing Wii had hit 2 million in Japan and 6.5 million worldwide)
Australia from here http://palgn.com.au/article.php?id=8088&rss=1&title=Gfk+reveals+console+sales+numbers+for+Australia
New Zealand from here http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10434410&pnum=2 (so I was wrong about NZ's date, the New Zealand number is as of April 16. )
