  Where do the numbers come from?
  
  The console sales numbers you see on the front page of NexGen Wars are estimates, and are not intended to represent exact, down to the minute sales as only Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony know the exact sales figures of their respective consoles. What we do here at NexGen Wars is compile numbers from NPD, Media Create, ChartTrack, as well as various other sources. We then take these numbers and, based on past sales trends, extrapolate the numbers out to give as close to real-time estimates as possible. Again, these are only estimates, but we are confident in our ability to bring you accurate and unbiased sales figures. Not only do we extrapolate the numbers out so they don't lag months behind with the official sales numbers, but we also update the numbers when new official numbers have been released to keep our estimates as accurate as possible.

  Not exactly a shocker. The only reason the Wii isn't in the lead here in the U.S. is that the 360 came before it. It's a couple hundred bucks cheaper than the other two, so it would be nuts if it WASN'T in the lead.

    Yeah, I'm not surprised at all either. The Wii is a cheap and fun system, and a lot of people want it. Eventually, I'm sure it will even pass the 360 in sales. =)

  No surprise to me, I just wish it was easier to find here in the U.S. You could find one if you really tried, but I don't like to try that hard.

  I agree with Ryancola as well. It's great to see Nintendo doing so well. It came out in November, and where I live, it's still hard to get one.

  I would agree too. I remember when my parents would buy me things besides chocolate for Easter. Good times. I wonder why they managed to get more shipped out this week, if it wasn't just for Eaater.

  I'm actually not surprised. The Nintendo Wii is one of the newest innovations in gaming, it's not too surprising it's selling so fast. It will surpass the 360, it's only a matter of time.

  As others have said, low cost + unique selling point = good seller and as anyone who has done bsusiness studies at some level will know a Unique selling point is very important in a industry like this.

  Because of the Wii being so cheap and fun, it was obvious that it was going to outsell the other consoles. Go Nintendo!
