Nintendo's Wii top seller in January, beats out PS3 and Xbox 360

Nintendo's Wii tops both Xbox 360 and PS3 in the United States for January. Looks like a lot of people are warming up to the Wii. I know that it is quite hard to find in the Buffalo area. Many of the Wii's accessories are also sold out. You can usually find games just fine, but extra remotes, nunchucks, etc. are hard to come by. I'm sure the price of the Wii makes for a better sell and I think folks are really interested in a new way to "game".

"SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s <7974.os> Wii was the best-selling video game console in the United States in January, and the Japanese company also boasted four of the top 10 games, data released on Wednesday showed.

The figures from market research firm NPD showed that U.S. shoppers snapped up 436,000 of the Wii, which debuted in November for $250 and features a motion-sensing controller that has helped build buzz for the machine."
