I hate figure threads but i' ll get this in here before the fanboys do...
Nintendo have made available their fiscal report for last year, ...it can be viewed
HERE
Since launch they' ve
sold 5.84M Wii' s.
It' s impressive, but Gamecube sold 3.8M in the same timespan, without European figures, so if you include the European figures (1.5M) for the same time period then it works out at 5.3M.
The only difference is that by this time Gamecube was readily available and Wii isn' t, ...so we still can' t gauge just how successful the machine is.
The report also states that Nintendo expect to sell 14M before the next fiscal year ends (April 08)
It' s not bad by any means but it' s not as good as many have been making out and it means that Microsoft will likely stay the current market leader for this generation until at least early 08.
