Nintendo has seen staggering sales for the Wii, but just how staggering has it been? Well, the console has surpassed the Gamecube, Nintendo’s previous outing, in Japan – its lifetime sales within a year.

Exactly 4,179,963 units of the Gamecube were sold during the lifetime of the product. Astonishingly, the Japanese picked up 4,231,044 units of the Wii, having the new console outsell its brother in just over a year.

Only one word comes to mind: wow!
