A lot of unofficial numbers have been flying around from a lot of sites lately, suggesting that the Wii has overtaken the Xbox 360 in global sales. This time though, the mighty Financial Times are reporting that the Wii has indeed overtaken the 360; The Wii has sold 9 million units, Xbox 360 8.9 million, and the PS3 3.7 million. Since this comes from the Financial Times, you can bet that the numbers are pretty accurate. This is the first time in 17 years that Nintendo has the lead, way back in the NES and SNES days.
