Nintendo Company’s Wii outsold Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 during January as consumers bought 436,000 of the gaming consoles.

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 was the second-most purchased machine with sales of 294,000, followed by PlayStation 3 with 244,000, Credit Suisse analyst Heath Terry said in a report, citing NPD Group Inc. data.

Crunching the numbers:

Wii - 436,000
360 - 294,000
PS3 - 244,000

Wii’s affordable price, and cool features and attachments have vaulted Wii to almost a 2-1 outsell of the other machines, which I think is incredible due to the fact of all the hype of the recent launch of the PS3. This could be due to the possibility of a shortage still for the PS3?

At any rate, the Wii is definately proving that it is a force to be reconned with.
