Wii outsells both 360 and PS3 in January despite shortages

Preliminary NPD data via Next-Gen suggests that Nintendo outsold both the 360 and PS3 in January, this despite continued shortages for the console while the latter two are widely in stock. Here's how it allegedly went down last month:

Wii - 436,000 units
360 - 294,000 units
PS3 - 244,000 units

Said Perrin Kaplan, Nintendo's VP of marketing on the numbers: "I do think that we're selling to additional and different customers. We've had an incredibly healthy start and we think there's going to be a pretty long tail on this product." Does Kaplan even know what Long Tail is? I think she means Wii can continue to sell well.

I've owned pong,colecovision,nes,snes,n64,ps1,ps2 and xbox. They were all fun and still are. But the Wii is extremely fun, I love this thing. Waiting for Killer Instinct.

PS3 may not be flying off the shelves in the US, but it is quite hot in Asia. Preorders for the PS3 was twice the price it is now. Ifthe above figures are global, then it would account for the sales figures being close to Xbox 360.
