Last week, Microsoft reported it's performance with the Xbox 360's sales during December. The company informed that "the console sold 1.9 million units domestically," truly a significant performance for the console in a month.

More important, the company defined December as "the largest one-month haul in the platform's history," which is really impressive.

The silence of the others two manufacturers could mean that they performance weren't that good, which could be a valid probability, since the PS3 has being selling less than the 360 in the last months, and with the Wii sales becoming each time colder, making the company report loss during its April-September fiscal half-year.

But as the news followed, one curiosity appeared.

In the following day, Michael Pachter informed the Wii and PS3 sales for December, saying that 2.36 million Wii's units were purchased during the month.

GameSpot noted that, "while more than the 360, the number actually represented a 38 percent decline when compared to Wii sales during December 2009."

So, in the same month that become the largest one-month haul in the 360's history, Wii sales, selling more than it's rival for the month, were 38% lower than 2009.

This only shows how much high the Wii reached, despite it's lack of third-party cases of success.
