The Financial Times has just delivered a report which states that the Nintendo Wii has finally one the games console war against the Microsoft Xbox 360. The Wii has now sold 9 million games consoles, while the Xbox 360 has now been pushed into second with 8.9 million sales; the PS3 is in third with only 3.7 million sales.
It has been 17 years since Nintendo has held the top spot, but since the Wii launched it was only a matter of time before the fun little games console overtook the Xbox 360. Overall these consoles have a long way to go as the Sony PS2 is king of the sales with over 100 million units being sold.

I don’t fully agree that it has been 17 years since nintendo was ontop, as we haven’t had 17 years of the playstation which is the console that defeated nintendo until now. I would say its more like. 12 years.
