Funny, I was playing Super Mario Galaxy last night with the GF (we trade the controls back and forth every other planet). Mucho fun. Still like the Wii. Wish I could get a WiiFit, tho.

ninjagin

I seem to remember a marketing scheme from the time when the PS3 and the Wii were launching where either sony and microsoft suggested that they could buy their superior console and a wii in addition because it was cheap, expecting next to no competition. Its probably more common than people think where they own either a ps3 and a wii or a 360 and a wii.

Unfortunately there also is no statistic of how many hardcore gamers were disappointed at their wii and haven't touched it since zelda or ssb *raises hand*

hxzero

The title is misleading. The Wii is now the #1 console in the U.S.? In sales, but how about in actual 'actively-used' units in homes? Of course the XBOX360 sales will slow down.... Most folks that wanted one, already have one.... The Wii is FINALLY available for average people to purchase in stores now...so yeah, supply caught up, so I the title should read "...#1 console in Units Sold".

pharmboy

@Shane112358: No. I'm not old. I had kids young. That way when I'm 45 I can retire and just play video games all day. So shaddup.

@Optimus-Prime: It wouldn't affect the sales figures, I just think it would be interesting to know. How many people are multi-system owners?

Hectorvex

My Wii got boring when I left college. I do most of my gaming alone now and need a robust online interface to play with my friends. Not having a packed dorm room makes SSB a lot less fun. Sold my Wii and got a ps3, couldn't be any happier. UPnP FTW!

python2121

Don't get me wrong...I have a Wii and I can't believe that I am going to defend the red ring of death, but here it goes.
I am sure that victory doesn't really fall on console sales, but more with the sale of games AFTER buying the console. I am sure that there are lots of Wii owners that still haven't branched past Wii Sports. The real cash is in the aftermarket games.

Mayor McRib

The Wii is starting to get some pretty good games... obviously SSB and games Mario Galaxy are both excellent first party choices, but there's other games like Zach and Wiki and No More Heroes that are also great. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchase, but I wouldn't trade my 360 in for anything.

ezman

this sounds about right.

xFr3nLixPhYr3x

@Hectorvex: I've seen 360 owners open up an xbox live chat when playing Medal of Honor Heros 2 online for the Wii. There are a lot of people that own both systems but I dont' see how that is relevant in skewing the sales figures.

Optimus-Prime

I only wish the Wii had more games that I like... then I'd be all over it. (Okay, Super Smash is fun when you're a couple of people and you're bored, but still)

Eruanno

@Hectorvex: You're old!

Shane112358

"Wii eekend"! I see what you did there!

themightykorean

Not a huge surprise here. It's aimed at casual gamers and, for the most part, costs less.

karmaghost

I bought a Wii for the kids. I can't get into the damn thing. All that standing... ugh. It's still the 360 for me. I think that's a stat that's missing from these reports. How many Xbox 360 owners also own a Wii?

Hectorvex

You know things are not good at Camp Xbox when the PS2 almost outsells your machine. Someone send Ballmer a "Pick Me Up" basket.

Monty

Well, I have a Wii and a 360. Overall, the 360 gets the most use. But, I have to say, I love Wii's virtual console. When I do use the Wii, the VC games get by far the most use. (Though I have been playing a lot of Smash Brothers recently.)

Overall, if I had to give up the Wii it wouldn't bother me too much. I'd actually miss the 360.

falandil

Wow...seems I'm still party of the majority after all...

I own both a 360 and Wii. Wii gets turned on for parties or if the girlfriend is over with a few friends...

360 gets played on a nearly daily basis. There's far too many games for it that I still want to play, but don't nearly have enough time. Whereas the Wii has had a few games, but I've already played them all...Zack & Wiki, Metroid Prime, SMG to name a few...

The other part (and I may still be in the minority here), is that of the 360 games I own, I'm constantly wanting to go back and play them again. Mass Effect and Bioshock have both seen multiple play-throughs.

Chromeo is typing this on his iPhone 3G

@pharmboy: The title isn't misleading. The "Wii is now the number one console in the U.S." That's totally true. The article then goes on to say in sales. That's what articles are for, clarifying the details. Also, there's no way of accurately telling how many "actively-used" console are in homes.

Anyway. I went with the Wii for casual gaming and PC for my hardcore games. Works perfect and I still play both all the time. Xbox 360's and PS3's are great too, I just haven't needed to get one yet.

sorensilk

I have all three, and a top of the line gaming PC.

I have 5 games for the Wii, including the one that came with it and the one that came with a controller. I haven't turned it on in a few months.

I have 4 games for the PS3, which I haven't played in months, and 40 Blu-Ray movies. I watched all the Blu-Ray movies at least once, some twice now.

I have 24 games for the XBox360, plus about half a dozen Arcade games I payed for and about 20 XBox games (half of which I can't play on the 360). I play on the XBox 360 every week. I don't have the HD-DVD player on it because I have a Toshiba HD-DVD player for the 120 or so HD-DVDs I own (and all the standard DVDs since it's far and away the best standard DVD player I've ever owned).

I currently have about 20 games installed on my PC, and about twice that many sitting in a drawer that I will occasionally reinstall and play. I play on my PC every week, too.

I don't regret buying the PS3 simply because it's the only real Blu-Ray player out and I love my HD movies. I do regret wasting my money on the Wii. If the XBox360 had a Blu-Ray drive/attachment, I'd regret buying the PS3, too.

Baladen

I think the high energy prices are driving the sales up, more folks staying home. Wii is great and my 360 but I still favor PC gaming.

Sons of Norway

I have a Wii gathering dust. There are very few games worth playing, almost none worth buying. Some of the decent games are made worse by poor controls. Hell, even after I added a mod chip, I almost never turn it on. Over the years, I've had just about every US console made and the Wii has gotten the least amount of play by far.

Mini-game after mini-game after mini-game. LAME. My cell phone has better graphics... It's a $250 bowling simulator at best. At least the mod chip lets me use it for Divx, mp3s, etc.

When it comes to games that are fun to play, you can't beat the 360.

Geist420

@ninjagin: awwww... cute.
*gentle ribbing*

ezman

@Mayor McRib: Nintendo makes money on every Wii sold since day one. Both Microsoft and Sony started selling at a loss (believe that one or both of them are no longer). Not to mention the huge problem that you alluded to 'RROD', how much was the write down for that plus the warranty extension again?

jiffy

Have a wii, wish I had a ps3. The wii's games are mostly subpar. so are ps3's but at least you can use it for blu-ray movies.

mthrndr

According to VGChartz, this actually happened back in May.

Also, if you consider that Microsoft considers a replacement for a failed console as a "shipped unit", and factor in their 20-25% failure rate, the Wii's actual installed base probably overtook the 360 quite a few months ago.

macserv

@Chromeo is typing this on his iPhone 3G: Wii gets turned on for parties or if the girlfriend is over with a few friends...

The girlfriends over with a few friends and the Wii is the only thing getting turned on? For shame!

wjousts

And to everybody who has one "collecting dust": Seriously guys, there's no excuse for it. If the Wii just isn't your cup of tea, just eBay it and stop griping. The mad rush for them is dying down, but they're still selling above retail.

HeartBurnKid, creepy morbid freak

@ljj: I'm 29, and I love my Wii. Though I wish there were more developers willing to put out anything besides shovelware crap minigames, the actual games that are there are uniformly excellent. Still grooving on Smash Bros. Brawl and No More Heroes, will be starting on Twilight Princess soon (I bought it a month ago to hack the Wii, but haven't actually played it yet), will probably pick up Mario Galaxy soon, and waiting with bated breath for Mad World.

Oh, and Smash Bros. is pretty much still the ultimate party game, at least in my incredibly geeky circle.

HeartBurnKid, creepy morbid freak

Like many others: I have both. I play the 360 almost every day, even if only for a quick 10 minutes XBL arcade match. The Wii literally sat in a drawer for months. I tried four or five games, but since I don't having "gaming parties" I found the Wii games to be shallow and boring. I got Wii Fit for the heck of it, and now I "play" Fit occasionally. It's not really fun, but at least if I do Fit for 30 minutes, I don't have to feel quite as bad about spending the next three hours eating chips and playing 360.

I paid $300 for my Xbox (got $100 rebate on Premium back when it was $400). Overall cost of Wii+balance board is $310. If you compare cost with hours played, my 360 owns my Wii. For me, the 360 has been a much better value (even if you deduct the time and aggravation of two RROD returns).

makanai

The Wii is a great social gaming machine and has some really good games. Everytime guests come over they want to play it. I also have a PS3 and love it, but I'm the only one who ever uses it unless we are watching a movie with it.

Ham_Sandwich

I am curious what the demographic breakdown of these numbers are. Every kid I know under 18 loves the Wii.

Surely Gizmodo commenters are not a cross-section of the general population.

The $$ numbers don't lie, the Wii has been an amazing success.

ljj

Wait...so the Wii sold 660,000 units, and the 360 sold just under 220,000 units, which means the Wii outsold the 360 by just over 440,000 units...and that just now puts the Wii up by 500,000 units? So what you're saying is that the Wii was actually #1 console in total sales _last_ month by a 60,000 unit margin?

@hxzero:
Welcome to the world of my long-ago predictions. Microsoft was pretty much saying the same thing from their side. They both saw it as a fight to see which of the "true" next-gen video game consoles was better and/or would win (turns out there's not much of a power difference, but the PS3 is harder to program due to horky self-limiting design), and both dismissed the Wii as some sort of cheap toy that would get picked up to accompany their more popular game system. Yeah, the math never added up properly on that one. Not when they were both adamantly claiming that you would buy their HD-capable game console _instead_ of the other one.

Purple Dave

I have a wii, i think is boring but hey my wife loves it, had a PS3 and a X360 but she said that all the games are like a friggin mission where you have to watch a bullshiet story before getting into the game so she hated them and they made their way onto ebay. PC gaming is the best o think though, WOW, FTW

snitch29

@Chromeo is typing this on his iPhone 3G: That's what I think would affect the perception of the Wii in the marketplace. Sure, it's fun but a lot of people bought it to supplement their gaming habits, not as the sole provider of video game entertainment. I play the 360 every week as well, and almost never see the Wii turned on. Even the kids would rather play the 360 (though I don't let them as much since I bought them the damn Wii.)

Hectorvex

@Optimus-Prime: There are a lot of people with both systems. But how many play the wii compared to the 360??? I mean numbers matter but just because one console sells the most doesnt mean that its better or more people play it, it just means that its more popular. Now im sure the 360 users play the 360 waaaay more than they play their wii because of the xbox live and rpg's like halo 3 etc.
I think if the wii had more shooter games with more violence and bloodshed it'd be way better. How cool would it be to get a headshot while holding the gun like you would in real life compared to just pressing buttons???

SneakerFiend

I'm with the majority here, I rarely play my Wii except for parties or with my kid. Had nothing to do with "standing up" etc., most of the games just aren't that much fun for continuous play. The only games I own on the xbox that are brought out for parties etc. are guitar hero and scene it! For regular games though, the xbox still rules. Microsoft will always trail someone in the console world cause there are too many people that despise MS. Fools.

PornoDaddy

PS3 all the way screw nintendo and there kiddy like games mario has been lame since 99 yall

D-13

@ezman: I agree, but all of those games game out four months ago or longer. I love my Wii, but it has been sitting pretty much since Christmas. There has been quite a drought in good releases lately and after E3 announcements it looks like there are only a few good ones coming down the pipline within the next three months.

M.A.S.

good for nintendo! way to go

Jad35

@wazups2x: EXACTLY, and that's what game developers will be looking at moving forward. Everyone seems to be forgetting that.

BostonPimpDaddy

The Xbox 360 sells more games than the Wii and PS3 combined.

@ninjagin: We got the Wii Fit about a month ago. The whole family plays (2 adults 2 kids). Then they go to sleep and I go online with PS3 for some Burnout Paradise madness.

Sora57

@Hectorvex: I have the Wii and PS3. And PSP and DS. XBox 360 will be mine, someday but not yet.

Sora57

@SneakerFiend: To answer your question, I don't know how many people play the wii compared to the 360. I never said that one was better than the other, just that I have seen a lot of people own both.

And Halo 3 isn't an RPG.

And your other question, I don't think Wii would be way better with more gore. I really like playing MOH heroes 2 online. If you've ever had to physically pump your shotgun after firing a shot you know what i'm talking about. I would like to play with 2 players on the same system vs others online. And voice chat as well. That would make it much better!

Optimus-Prime

@D-13: Yah it's so difficult to attach a network cable to the 360. Waaa no wifi, boohoo!
I want fast network speeds anyways, and wired is FASTER than wireless.

Have fun playing MGS4, when you're done with that you can talk on your wireless network with your buddies about which BR movies you can watch on your PS3.

BostonPimpDaddy

Look at how mad u guys get all worked up about your video game machines who fuckin cares buy what u like an dont cram wii this an wii that down my throat i dont care the thing sux an the 360 dont even have wi-fi thats a 100 more STUPID also u pay to play online FUCKIN GAY lets penny pinch ppl an yes im a hypocrite PS3 all the way MGS4 is all i have 2 say

Name me the 32 Wii titles that are truly WORTH buying, I'll give you 10 to name in that 32 worth renting.

"I know, I'll steal some of the other console exclusives"
Talk about JEALOUSY. This is the business world afterall, it's obvious Square Enix want to make money, oh know they are BAD, they are going to 360! OH NO! WAAAA

Please tell me this is the year of the PS3 like it was stated back in 2007 that it would be the year of the PS3.

There's no doubt the Wii is doing very well, but to say the 360 isn't is false. And it's pretty obvious the PS3 is NOT doing well for Sony. There's always room for #1 and #2, but being #3 really sucks...See Dreamcast, GameCube, etc.

BostonPimpDaddy

@wazups2x: Who cares, Nintendo is getting their olympic pool * 10 filled with the money DS and Wii are getting from the sales, xDDDDDDDD

KristenBal

Got a Wii and a PS3, I get ot play Wii more often than PS3, this one only fires when feeling like i want to play MGS4 or MGO (didn't live up to the hype for me)

I mostly play smash online (seems like many people forgets this game has online caps. And don't get me the lag issue, I do have lag, but is not impossible to enjoy a battle) and Mario Kart Wii, man, i'm having the hell of fun out of it. also, wiiware games are pretty fun to play, and the homebrew scene is getting better as days passes on (quake on wii is just another thing!!!!!)

people saying that the controls scheme on the wii sucks, is people who truly sucks with em, with are not up to accept the facts that they suck hard

people saying that the wii-wheel is pretty lame... well, same thing as the paragraph before

people saying there are no games on Wii, I can mention 32 titles currently out that are amazing, and another 20 that are about the come out

Wii's outselling their rivals, M$ stated that the first to reach 10M selling on the US is the winner, then fixed for High Definition consoles, man, M$ is such a winnier, "Oh no, a less powerfull console is getting on my toes, which came out after a year than me and already reaching me, but I have better games, better internet service, and have been out for more time. I know, 'll steal some of the other console exclusives. Also, that console is selling because of his motion sensing control. If get one like that, 'll be selling more again. Mmmmm, those player representations that that lower powered console has is a great his, lets copy their idea, but lets pimp em out so they are different, just like we did with Vista and our Widgets. Lets name em Avatars. Se, they are different. Oh, better yet, 'll state that only HD gaming consoles to reach 10M sales on the US is the actual gen winner. Yeah, the other hd console can even get the half I had sold!!!!"

Man, this gen war is getting funnier as time goes on!!!! i want to see

@BostonPimpDaddy: well i dont see my last comment must have not worked like i was saying ya no wi-fi pisses me off i dont have any network jacks in my living room and im not running a cord down the hallway fuck that. also why would i pay $15 in order to charge my controller or have to buy batteries thats stupid. an after mgs4 I lookin fw to god of war 3. and u had no comment back about the online fee we both know paying to play online is FUCKIN GAY i already bought the game why would i pay more to play it online makes no sence to me mabe u like wasting money not me

@sorensilk:
While the title is technicaly true, the word "now" is misleading in that readers will assume it wasn't in the past.

Yes, Wii is NOW #1 as it's been for a LONG time.

[vgchartz.com]

As you can see, the Wii bacame #1 in sales sometime in August of 07. However, in order to have overtaken the lead on the 360 it would have to of been #1 with the PEOPLE for a lot longer then that.

we are talking games here not gas prices wtf

D-13

ya well i dont like re-reading what i wrote so shut up

D-13

@D-13:
You might want to consider taking an English class. Reading your comment was more painful.

Of course game & hardware sales are up compared to this time last year; people are driving less (somewhat) and staying in more, so they need some sort of entertainment. Besides, let's not forget that everything that happens now can be traced back to the high price of gas! (like the 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon)

ShabazOSU

@Eruanno: agreed, i was considering the wii cause of its low cost and the fact that it's something new compared to regular gaming controllers

but i looked at the games and it's like, mario, meh who cares? now get some better graphics in there and COD4, then'll we're good to go :D

basicxman

@BostonPimpDaddy: i thought u just said nothing is free how about playing online with a PS3? maybe with ur xbox thats not what ur used 2. So i guess good luck to u an your RROD machine just waiting to happen and while your sending in your xbox to get fixed just remember i will be at home playing PS3 online 4 free.

D-13

The statistic of how many Wii's collect dust would interest me more. I bought one the first day it came out and returned it because I knew it was nothing more than some new gadget that would collect dust. People balked at me and now you hear a ton of people not playing them. Every person I know sold theirs. Maybe they are counting all the resales.

sned

According to VGChartz, the PS3 overtook the 360 in Europe two weeks ago. When will the next round of manufacturer figures be released to prove whether this is true or not?

@BostonPimpDaddy: So it bloddy well should with seven million more units out there, genius. Just because it sucks it don't mean people won't do it. Just ask the 65 million people in the UK who have to pay the equivalenty of $250 every year to own a TV.

DelSource

@D-13: If paying for online sucks, why does 360 LIVE have more members than PS3? Nothing is free. It's not wasting money if you play online for the experience, etc. Everyone is different. Good luck.

@craig: And I thought I was the only one ... hehe

aR-Tard

The problem with this is that the WII isnt selling games for the 3rd party companies. This is a big deal. If there are systems that are sold but a majority are not buying games, then developers and publisher wont have the funding to keep making games. It's simple videogame econ 101. As I see it, the only people really making money are 1) Nintendo for the console
2) Nintendo for Wii Remotes
3) Nintendo for Mario Kart
4) Nintendo for WiiFit
5) Some Chinese guys selling WiiFit Accessories

If I was a little guy developer what are the chances of my new game even standing a chance against the wii fit. I'm still looking for a wiiFit here in San Jose, and thats all the time i'll devote to finding a game for the wii.

Your Thoughts.

bigmark64

We own an xbox and a wii. Even if a game isnt played that day the chances are the xbox gets used as a media centre extender to listen to any music track stored on the computer in the other room or to watch recorded TV. This has changed viewing habits from watching any old rubbish to watching things I want to watch or just listening to a track you havnt played for ages.
I wanted to have another extender in another room but didnt feel the need for another gaming machine. Having looked around there is not a decent extender cheaper than an Xbox arcade so why not get a free games machine + DVD player thrown in for free.
Xbox is a great all round package if you use it to its full potential. All they need to do is make a blu Ray add on and internet access and they have one machine under the TV that can do it all

Drfatpie

There also isn't merit to the un played wii gaining dust. All systems have people play them and then put them down for a while.

It just the same as MS doesn't see how many of the 360s are gaining dust or have multiple units in the same house. It doesn't seem to be uncommon for xbox owners to use multiple units as media extenders. Some have purchased new units to get larger hard drives and some have bought temp units to play games while a different unit is out for repair.

The same can be said for game sales. Most people I know with wii's buy a game and that is it. They buy it new and keep it. The PS3 and Xbox players buy and sell used games. Publishers don't see any money from those used sales. Used games sales are why XBOX and PS3 publishers only have 2weeks to make all of their money after a games release. Wii publishers might not be doing very poorly at all if you couple that with much lower game production costs.

Techguy1138

It really really simple.
I went to a game store with my fiancee who is a long time gamer. She looked at the wall for xbox,xbox 360 and the PS3 and pointed out the all of the boxes look the same. They are all violent looking characters.

More than that they are all realistic looking without artistic style falling straight into the uncanny valley.

Compare this to the PS2, DS and wii and I can see why the xbox360 and PS3 are both failures. The games are all stylistically limited, graphically advanced and of similar genre.

Techguy1138

@Mayor McRib: It's actually different with the Wii...int he past you would have been absolutely correct. Normally, the company looses money on the sale of the console and recoups the cost with games, add-ons, and licensing. The 360 and PS3 follow that model. The Wii actually earns money for Nintendo with each sale, and even more so since manufacturing costs come down yet they haven't lowered the price once yet.

As for after-market games, Zelda + Mario Galaxy + SSBB + WiiFit are all games made by Nintendo and rake in a massive amount of money. I have a 360 and a Wii, and I have about the same number of games for both of them. Some of the 360 games far bet the Wii games, but I'm an RPG player, so there's little to choose from on the 360. If only it became more popular in Japan so they could get some of the major RPG makers onboard.

geowrian

@bigmark64: Wonder if that has to do with the fact that most of the third party Wii games suck.

Seriously, the only companies that have brought out anything worthwhile on the Wii are Nintendo (obvious), Ubisoft (No More Heroes, Rayman Raving Rabbids), Activision (GH3), and Capcom (RE4). Notice that all of the above sold. People would ignore the obvious "If you make crap, it won't sell", but instead go for "people only buy Nintendo games on Nintendo systems", which is bottom-line false (but it absolves them of responsibility from shoveling crap out the door, so expect to see it repeated often).

HeartBurnKid, creepy morbid freak

@Mayor McRib: The 360 does have the highest software attach rate by far. Followed by the Wii and then the PS3.

robinandtami

I recommended the 360 to another family with younger kids, because of how much I enjoyed the system. Turns out they weren't quite the gamers I thought they would be because their enjoyment of the system fizzled quickly. I should have pointed them towards the Wii which appeals to a much bigger market. I only play the Wii when I want to break a sweat though.

yatesjp1

As someone who owns all three current gen consoles, my 360 is number one for games, my PS3 is number one for BluRay/DVD playback, and my Wii is number one at collecting dust and being ignored.

For someone who owns all three of the current gen consoles, my Wii is number one at collecting dust. My 360 is number one for games, and my PS3 is number one for watching Blu Rays and DVDs.

@BostonPimpDaddy: I agree with you up until gamecube sucks i dunno for some reason i really really liked mine

@DozeUser: you think D-13 is an angry dude but you dont call out BostonCockParty for being a blatant troll? The guy comes into a Nintendo Wii post and starts crying about how he cant buy a PS3 with his food stamps. I mean please.

imTheKing

@imTheKing: I can kinda agree with you there, although i wouldn't use the word troll for either, while boston is angry, and yes he is but not to the extent that D-13 is, I have never once seen him say that he was saddened because he couldn`t buy a PS3 with his foodstamps as you put it. I believe the closest to that he came is saying that nothing is free. Also if Boston is a troll then D-13 definitely is, i mean his first post was

``PS3 all the way screw nintendo and there kiddy like games mario has been lame since 99 yall``

Does that not count as troll behaviour, also if you think someone is a troll take it up with them i merely commented on D-13 because he is in fact an angry dude, honestly you got a problem with Boston take it up with him, not me you arrogant bastard.

DozeUser

gimmicks sell, its true

pevans34

My girlfriend has a wii. Its fun, for social things. If you just want to play a good game... get a 360. If you want to spend alot of cash and talk about specs...get a ps3.

It truly comes down to games. No matter what features of specs a machine has, in the end the one with the best games wins.

sorry for double post

I guess I am different from the other users here. I own both an Xbox 360 and a Nintendo Wii, but my Xbox 360 is the console that is gathering dust. I play my Wii everyday (Smash Brawl mostly). The Xbox 360 has not been on since I lost interest with Halo 3.

I guess I may be a casual user after all. After seeing the video for Gears of War 2, I simply went "Meh." It was pretty, but it didn't really generate any excitement. On the other hand, I am excited for Geometry Wars 2 and Galaga Legions. Maybe those games will make me pick up that Xbox 360 controller again.

@D-13: Sarcasm, congratulations, did I hurt your feelings. Stop acting like an angry jackass and i will not call you out on it. I never said a word in any post about this sensitivity you have imagined in me the only time I said anything close was when i said that no one was cramming the wii down your throat, and that is true no one is. You however are trying continually to cram your opinions down our throats.
