As of Thursday, retailers have sold more Nintendo Wii videogame consoles than Microsoft(MSFT) Xbox 360s, despite the latter videogame console being available a year longer, a tracking firm said.
While not confirmed by either company, gaming metrics Web site Vgchartz.com said retailers have sold 10.57 million Wiis, and 10.51 million Xbox 360s. Both totals are about two and a half times the 4.32 million Sony PlayStation 3s sold.
