It seems that Nintendo’s Wii console isn\’t as dominant as everybody had thought. In fact, earlier this year the Xbox 360 surpassed Wii sales within the UK. Today, the Xbox 360 accomplished the same feat within the United States. As of right now, the Xbox 360 is the best selling console of the 7th console generation within the US.

In addition to selling the most hardware, the 360 also has sold the most software during the 7th generation within the US. The Xbox 360 has sold 460 million pieces of software, whereas 431 million pieces of software have been sold for the Wii.

Currently, the Wii remains the top selling console worldwide for the 7th generation, standing about 20 million units higher than the other two consoles. Fortunately, the Wii still remains the top seller within Japan.
