Wii sales hit a new milestone in the territory last week on the back of the release of Animal Crossing: City Folk, which shifted over 303,000 copies.
The new figures put Nintendo's home console streets ahead of the competition, with Sony estimating around 2.37 million PlayStation 3 hardware sales as of September 30, when the Wii had sold around 6.83 million units in the island nation.
