With the recent release of NPD sales numbers for March 2007, Nintendo can once again claim the top spots in gaming console sales.

From Nintendo's announcement: "With the first quarter of 2007 now completed, Wii has already notched over a million systems sold in America this year, while the DS now stands just shy of 1.25 million for the same period. Wii remains the fastest-selling new console in more than a decade, based on NPD sell-through information over the first five months of availability. So far this year, Nintendo has sold more video game systems than all other manufacturers combined."

Since debuting in November 2006, the Wii still has been a rarity on retailer's shelves. Nintendo says shipments of the Wii will increase this month from ramped up production. Embarrassingly for Sony's PS3, it was knocked down one notch by Nintendo's Game Boy Advance. You have to give Sony credit, however, for the PS2 staying tough in the #2 spot.

Here's the announced numbers for March 2007 gaming console & handheld sales from NPD:

Nintendo DS 508K
PlayStation 2 280K
Wii 259K
Xbox 360 199K
PlayStation Portable 180K
Game Boy Advance 148K
PlayStation 3 130K
GameCube 22K
Xbox - r.i.p.

wait, Isn't someone gonna say its too early to declare a clean cut winner of this generation yet?
Isn't anyone going to live in denial of Nintendo's market dominance this month ?

Will no one step up to the plate and bat a home run for the "halo-box 360" console ?
Or the george forman bbq grill 3 ?

*Gasp!* Could it be true?! Is nintendo finely so far ahead of the competition that it can no longer be denied? :thumbup:
