Nintendo Wii has sold 989,118 consoles in Japan since it went on sale on December 2, compared to 466,716 PS3s sold since November 12, according to stats release by Tokyo Research and publisher Enterbrain.

Although this could partly be put down to manufacturing issues for Sony that lead to a massive shortage of PS3s for the launch period, this is a phenomenal success for Nintendo.

With Wii's shooting off shelves like crazy - in fact, they're hard to find in retail stores around the world - this success looks set to continue well into 2007.

I have spoke to many wii owners, and many believe it's not too early to call a winner on the gen wars.
Still, I remember the Snes/Genesis wars, lol.
It seemed like every few months with each new release the tables turned. Those where exciting times back then, and we have yet to see another Gen war like it.
But still, as much as we all want nintendo to win this one, It's still too early to count anyone out yet ;)
