Call of Duty Black Ops Voted ‘Best Game Ending’ Of All Time

You got that right, yet more news on the Xbox 360 v.s. Wii v.s. Playstation 3 battle. Xbox 360 is now at 10 million sold while to PS3 refused to budge since May 17th. Guess what? The Wii sold 1 million since then, making it, what, 1 million units sold in a month? Surprised? The Wii is now at 8 million. We still don't know how this will all flatten out. The Xbox 360 is pushing ahead, but the Wii could take the lead at any moment, while the PS3 struggles behind, hoping for a breakout.
Wii achieved tremendous sales in just a month. Xbox 360 sales were enough to give it 10 million flat total, while PS3 barely moved an inch. From the last console sales chart, the numbers were:
Xbox 360: 9.71m (0.39M Japan, 6.17m America, 3.16m Others)
Wii: 7.09m (2.46m Japan, 2.84m America, 1.79m Others)
PS3: 3.31m (0.91m Japan, 1.44m America, 0.96m Others)
That was May 17, 2007. Now, Wii is riding its momentum and gained the highest increase - a whopping one million units sold, in just a month. Here are the numbers:
Xbox 360: 10.00m (0.39m Japan, 6.40m America, 3.21m Others)
Wii: 8.10 (2.64m Japan, 3.29m America, 2.17m Others)
PS3: 3.42m (0.94m Japan, 1.49m America, 0.99 Others)
Microsoft's machine sold around 300,000 units worldwide, while Sony's underdog got 111,000. At this rate, Nintendo could take the lead in a month. Looking at the graph above, 360's headstart does nothing to weaken Wii.
Halo 3 is right around the corner, while some hot games are coming for PS3; it's probably too early to decide, so hold on to your horses. Only time will tell if analysts are right, if Wii is just a fad and the PS3 will take over in a few years.

Most people who want an Xbox 360 for Halo probably already purchased the system by now, while people like me are waiting for better title on the Wii and PS3 to his store shelves and get them one time.
I thought it was selling well!
But I definately see the Wii overtaking the 360 in sales by the end of the summer at least.
This generation is shaping up to be a much closer race than the last. Xbox has stepped up with more 3rd party support, although its abysmal sales in Japan will keep it lower than PS3 in the long run. Wii is eating up everything right now, it will be interesting to see if its sales can continue to stay so high.
Im sure the Wii will over-take X-Box 360 regardless, because of the highly antiscipated SSBB.
