Well Nintendo launched in Europe and sold 80,000 right off the bat so I edited the original post to reflect that until more solid numbers pour in.

As of right now the launch allocations each company had are as follows...

Xbox 360 launch:
U.S. = 360,000 (Sold Out)
Europe = 350,000 (Sold Out)
Japan = 120,000 (62,000 Sold)
Total Shipped: 830,000

Sony PS3 launch:
U.S. = 172,000 (Sold Out)
Europe = Zero (launching in 4 to 5 months)
Japan = 88,000
Total Shipped: 260,000

Nintendo Wii:
U.S. = 700,000 (Sold Out)
Europe = atleast 80,000 (Sold Out)
Japan = 372,000 (Sold Out)
Total Shipped: 1,150,000

Nintendo has raised the bar by having so many systems ready for launch.

New numbers to ponder:

360: 1.6 Million sold in all 3 territories in 40 days
Wii: 1.1 Million sold in 2 of 3 territories in 17 days
PS3: 366,000 sold in 2 of 3 territories in 24 days

It'll be interesting to see where the Wii stands at the 40 day mark. They raised the bar for having sooooooo many units manufactured and ready to go! They will surpass 2 million easy seeing as they launch in Europe in 4 days

*Note* PS3 worldwide sales are right now at how many 360s Sold in the first 2 days here in the U.S.

I wonder if the higher-ups within that company admit they rushed it? Or if their supreme arrogance blinds even themselves when they lay in bed at night playing their Wii60s

I love numbers!!

Well, it's been 40 days since the ps3 launched and they've sold around 500,000 worldwide.

Its been 31 days for the Wii and 1.9 million are in homes worldwide.

I'll update this again when we reach 40 days for the Wii.

360: 1.6 Million sold in all 3 territories in 40 days
PS3: 500,000 sold in 2 of 3 territories in 40 days
Wii: 1.9 Million sold in all 3 territories in 31 days
