Guitar Hero on the Wii is doing great by the way.
Super Mario Galaxy is dissapointing though. But SSBB is coming to carry the torch.

And all predictions, as usual, were miles off (Pachter had the Wii at 420k, VGChartz had the DS at 547k).

I'm guessing nintendo saved some consoles for next month or shifted more support to Japan. Congrats to the PS3 beating 360 even though nothing really did that well at least it didn't do the worst.

Edit : oh yea this is for January. I guess Nintendo gave it all they got in December and were supply constrained.

WARNING TO ALL COWS: Be careful what you say because next month when the shortages are over you might be the ones with the damage control.

I'm a Nintendo fan so I'm not in the battle for 2nd place but I just wanted to help :P

"PS3 still doesn't have a AAAE" :|

:P Nah, but he will say that.

On topic, I'm impressed. Maybe the PS3 might actually get second place in the console war and if Sony continues making the PS3 a "must buy," maybe it might outsell the Wii. I doubt it will happen though.

As for software sales, looks like the 360 wins, the Wii has the majority, and only one PS3 games is in that list. Not surprising though.

I'm guessing that, as I'm sure Ninty spend all of their inventory over the holidays, leaving January as a month to catch up and rebuild inventory.

Wow! PS3 outsold the 360! I thought it would be more like they wer tied, but wow PS3 is making a HUGE comeback! 2008 = PS3's year!

EDIT: Holy!!?!?!? Wii only outsold the PS3 by 4000!?!? Oh My... The sleeping Dragon is waking up and it wants its Throne Back!EVOLV3

...Don't jump to conclusions.

let's wait for a couple months until 360 and Wii get supply units in retail.
