Turns out, the Wii kicked the crap out of the competition in the US during the month of January, selling quite a lot of units. This is based on preliminary NPD sales data via Next-Gen.biz, which comes as a surprise to many considering the console's apparent stealth-selling techniques during the month as shortages lingered. What makes it even more odd is the fact that both of its competitors, the PS3 and Xbox 360, are easily found in stock at most brick-and-mortar retail outlets. The sales breakdown goes:
- Wii - 436,000 units
- 360 - 294,000 units
- PS3 - 244,000 units
