... More than double the combined total of the PS2, PSP, and PS3 all combined for the month. Over double the X360's total. The Wii outsold the PS2, PSP, PS3, and X360 all combined; the DS didn't do that, but it did sell nearly twice what the X360 did, or a lot more than PSP, PS2, or PS3. :)
The X360 did sell double what the PS3 did, though, so MS has something to be happy about too... and an X360 game was first on the sales charts. But Sony... yeah, Sony's in trouble. :)

But two million in November... it's a new record. That's never happened before. Sony's 2.7 million PS2s in December 2002 is evidently the record, but they had 1.3 million that November... the only question about December is, how many Wiis will Nintendo have? They'll obviously sell whatever that number is.
As for games, Nintendo obviously isn't doing well there, for hardcore gamers. Their focus has been so strongly on the casual... still, if I had a Wii this year, I'd definitely be wanting the Wii Wario Land game for sure, at least... but yeah, between Wii Music and Wii Fit, it's obvious what their focus is at the moment. But still, they do have SOME games for the base in development... but I definitely never would have guessed that success would actually lead Nintendo to arguably release fewer (first/second-party) games I care about on this platform than their last two "unsuccessful" ones. But if all of the stuff we're hearing coming up comes that might be different... Sin & Punishment 2, Pikmin 3, "new Mario and Zelda", etc.
