Wii beat off Xbox 360 and PS3 over in the US having sold through 436,000 units in January, according figures released by NPD Group Inc.
This puts a gap of well over 100,000 unit sales between Nintendo's console and the second highest-selling machine, Xbox 360, which sold 294,000 units. The PS3 trailed just behind that with sales of 244,000.
While Nintendo of America will no doubt be chinking wine glasses together, getting more units to shelves remains a crucial matter, with the lack of availability still frustrating many gamers.
But if Nintendo and third-party publishers can keep a steady stream of software releasing throughout the year, 2007 will be a great year for Wii.
