More importantly, if sales trends continue the Wii is on track to become the best-selling next-gen console in the UK by the end of October, surpassing Microsoft’s Xbox 360 – which hit the market a year ahead of Nintendo’s machine.
However, with the Xbox 360 Elite due out shortly, along with next week’s Bioshock, September’s Halo 3 and a possible (albeit still denied) price cut, Microsoft’s machine could yet see a sudden surge in sales.
Wii is currently outselling Xbox 360 by more than four to one, and the PS3 by more than six to one.
