Nintendo Wii has sold 989,118 consoles in Japan since it went on sale on December 2, compared to 466,716 PS3s sold since November 12, according to stats release by Tokyo Research and publisher Enterbrain.
Although this could partly be put down to manufacturing issues for Sony that lead to a massive shortage of PS3s for the launch period, this is a phenomenal success for Nintendo.
With Wii's shooting off shelves like crazy - in fact, they're hard to find in retail stores around the world - this success looks set to continue well into 2007.
