We don’t keep you updated with every Wii sold like our friends at Kotaku, but the NPD’s 2007 sales numbers have been released, so we thought that the occasion merited a rundown to fuel your fanboy flame wars. Here are the total consoles sold in the United States during 2007:
Nintendo DS – 8,500,000
Wii – 6,290,000
Xbox 360 – 4,620,000
PlayStation 2 – 3,970,000
PSP – 3,820,000
PlayStation 3 – 2,560,000
So what about the total cumulative US sales numbers to date? Those numbers paint a slightly different picture:
PlayStation 2 – 41,120,000
Nintendo DS – 17,650,000
PSP – 10,470,000
Xbox 360 – 9,150,000
Wii – 7,380,000
PlayStation 3 – 3,250,000
Our reaction: it’s so easy to underestimate the success of the PSP hardware (and it’s currently selling like hotcakes in Japan). [kotaku]
