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.

Microsoft has cut the prices of its Xbox 360 console by up to $121.
The Pro version of the console now costs $499 (previously $620), the Elite version costs $699 (previously $799) and the Arcade version costs $399 (previously $459).
The company’s aggressive price-cutting strategy is part of Microsoft’s efforts to make the Xbox 360 “more accessible” and to gain market share.
The Xbox console lacks the coveted Blu-ray high-definition drive that rival console PlayStation 3 touts.
This is not the first time Microsoft has slashed prices of its console. Last August, it reduced the price of the Xbox 360 by $40.
Sony, on the other hand, has increased prices of its PlayStation 3 (PS3) console to $599 from $559 since April 21.
Nintendo has no immediate plans to tweak prices for its Wii console, which retails at $659 and comes bundled with three games.
But Microsoft might want to heed the demands of gamers and release a console with a Blu-ray drive soon if it is to make any headway in the gaming console space.
Mr Eric Chua, an account executive, said: “I don’t mind paying more for the PS3 because it has a Blu-ray drive. It means the games and movies that I buy will be future-proof.”
