Nintendo Wii Tops for Console Sales in June

Bloomberg reports that the Nintendo Wii outsold the Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 in the U.S. last month. 666,000 Wii consoles were sold compared to 405,500 for PlayStation 3s and 219,800 for Xbox 360s.

Wii has gained popularity among people who don’t play traditional shooting and racing games. It is designed for easy-to-play games and equipped with a motion-sensitive controller that can be swung like a racquet or sword.

Six of the 10 best-selling games in June were titles made for Nintendo, including “Wii Fit,” which ranked fourth, the company said. The exercise game is sold with a balance board for use in workouts and games that simulate skiing and soccer.
