Nintendo sells over a million Wiis in the US alone during week ending December 20th
Google employees might be getting lumps of coal in their Christmas stockings this year but we have a feeling our pals over at Nintendo will likely be getting regularly scheduled bonuses. We all know that Wii sales have been consistently and ridiculously strong but this past week has been nothing short of astounding here in the US for Nintendo. In the week ending December 20th, VG Chartz estimates Wii sales in the US alone at over one million units. Yes, that’s a one with six zeros after it. The holiday season is shaping up to be quite a coup for Nintendo and Wii sales won’t be slowing down any time soon. Add to that the tremendous success of the DS and you’ve got yourself a hell of a year-end.

I don’t get how the Wii can be bashed by “hardcore” gamers, a true hardcore gamer loves the classics which you can get on the magnificent virtual console there is nothing bad that can be said about that.
Well said TRV$, I got a Wii for me and my daughter to play.
There is nothing on the PS3 that I would remotely approve of her playing, same with the XBox, but we will go at it for hours on tennis, bowling, and Mario Kart.
The Wii was aimed at getting EVERYONE in the house involved in gaming, that’s why they in fact called it Wii.
The Wii is the family board games of years past.
Stop being a jackass on an internet blog and try to have some quality family time, or just be alone enjoying your HD Blu-Ray while everyone else is out enjoying their time together on a Wii.
