Wii outguns opponents

Nintendo’s Wii continues to dominate the gaming console wars, outselling Sony’s Playstation 3 three-to-one and Microsoft’s Xbox over twenty-to-one according to Enterbrain’s Japan sales figures.

The Wii has proven to be a very popular choice among gaming enthusiasts, consistently outselling its rivals the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. Its popularity is closely linked to its lower price and innovative controls, which saw it becoming the fastest selling gaming console in markets like the UK.

According to the Japan sales statistics released by Enterbrain, Nintendo sold 245,653 Wii consoles, Sony 81,541 PlayStation consoles and Microsoft a mere 11,288 Xbox 360s.

Both Sony and Microsoft have announced price cuts in the hope that their gaming consoles will be able to compete more effectively against the Wii, but Nintendo’s product’s popularity seems to be based on more than merely price.
