Xbox and PS3 take a right hook.

Do you have a Wii? If not, why not? I have to admit that it’s a seriously addictive console. True, I wasn’t overly impressed with the Wii fit but the pulling power of head to head games such as Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007 is indisputable. Looking at the sales figure it would appear that many people agree with me. US figures released on Friday show that the Wii outsold Xbox 360 and PS3 figures combined. Full figures are at the end of this article, if you’re interested (I know you are really).

It would be fair to say that much of sales performance has come on the back of the recent Super Smash Bros. Brawl release. So, testosterone fuelled death matches are still all the rage in the gaming world.

The figures are a slap in the face for Microsoft and Sony. The Wii popularity could be behind the post I edited recently: Console wars goes nuclear. It makes sense to me. Enough rambling, sales figures below:

March 2008

Wii 721,000 consoles sold

Xbox 360 262,000 consoles sold

PS3 257,000 consoles sold
