Nintendo sells 600.000 Wiis; invokes even more bad jokes

In the battle between Xbox and PS3, Nintendo's Wii seems to be winning. 600.000 of them have been sold in 8 days, and the buzz around the console seems to be huge. And to think that some thought that 'Wii' was a dumb name

First 8 days of sales in the USA = 600.000 sold. Those are the number Nintendo guys are currently looking at, and I can imagine them sipping martinis with little umbrellas. That's over 80.000 per day, folks.

Sure, maybe the PS3 would also sell that many - IF they were actually able to make them. However, the brass at Sony can only ponder what may have been as they watch people spend their money happily on the competitor's product.

And, the more videos I see of it in action, the more fun it seems.
