Gaming Charts

Whilst researching for my essay, I've managed to find a website with charts of official sales figures for games consoles in 2010.

According to http://www.vgchartz.com/, in 2010 the 360 ranks 3rd in amount of units sold of the three main consoles. Nintendo's DS and Wii are clearly leading the way.

But, the 360 recently tipped the 40 million units sold mark, meaning it has sold nearly 6 million more than PlayStation 3 since release, but around 30 million less than Nintendo Wii.
