Wii Claims Sales Record for Software Sold in First 18 Months

You might not have guessed it, but according to Nintendo, more software has been sold for the Wii in its first 18 months of availability than any other console â€" including the PlayStation 2. In the Wii’s first 18 months, roughly 50 million games were sold, compared with the PS2’s 42 million, the Xbox 360’s 30 million, the Xbox’s 28 million, and 20 million for the PlayStation 3. That’s a pretty sizable margin for the Wii, and keep in mind that these figures do not include Virtual Console sales
