Less than 2 years ago when Nintendo first unveiled the Wii Games Console and with the amazing Wii remote controller, it was anybody’s guess what sort of success Nintendo would have. With a completely different approach to gaming to what anyone in the industry had ever seen before, there didn’t seem that much support for the machine at the time, specifically with more powerful consoles already on the way.

Since then the Wii Games Console has defied almost every gamer and so called experts expectations and continued sell, even though there was only limited launch titles available. Sales off the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 however have struggled to attract more than the standard early adopters thanks to their high prices. The Wii has benefited from the much lower $250 price tag and an interface that your grandma could use.

Things are getting much better for Nintendo, as in July 2007 it was announced that 3 million units have been sold in Japan, outselling the PS3 by three-to-one. Further news on the latest Wii sales can be found at Wii console .

The numbers don’t look like changing in 2007. In fact, with new games comings, such as Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Super Smash Bros, Nintendo will start pulling in many more Nintendo fans who didn’t buy at first. Combine that with the release of Wii Fit, destined to be the core of the mainstream media for the next year, and no one else has a chance. Xbox 360 and PS3 have great line-ups for the holiday period of 2007, but the Wii is going from strength to strength.
