Wii eclipses Xbox 360 in console sales
,----[ Quote ]
| The Xbox 360, meanwhile, is behind largely because of its continued failure
| to capture Japanese gamers. VG Chartz shows that only 430,000 units of
| Microsoft's console have been sold in Japan, compared to 6.75 million in
| North America and 3.32 million elsewhere. That brings the total Xbox 360
| sales figure to 10.51 million.
