Nintendo has yet to make any announcements, but you can bet they will come the official NPD numbers next week. According to VG Chartz, which is an amateur, although fairly accurate measurement on system sales worldwide, the Wii total sales are now sitting at 10.1 million. Decent buffer room ensuring either the Wii’s milestone, or it occurring officially very shortly.

What does this mean for the Wii? It was able to do what 360 did with nearly a year longer. As the 360 sits in the 10.3 million range, expect total Wii sales to surpass the 360 within the next 2-3 weeks at the current pace. One thing is for sure, no one can officially deny the success of the Wii as it’s about to take possession of first place. Apparently scaled back, but cheaper hardware seems to be the way to go these days, we’ll have to wait and see how this changes the next generation of consoles.
