You know, back when the Wii was first announced I always said it would be a huge hit, but in no way did I ever think it would be this big of a hit.

Other interesting notes in those numbers is that the PSP is selling more than the PS3, and it's cool to see the PS2 still in the rankings.

I'll bet Sony disagrees.

Actually..I'm sure they're happy selling systems, but at what point does it become a pretty huge issue for them that they're still selling 100-200K PS2s per month while trying to push the latest and greatest with the PS3?
