Nintendo Co. Ltd. (7974.OS: Quote, Profile, Research) sold 476,000 units of its new Wii video game console in the United States in November, more than twice the number of PlayStation 3s sold by rival Sony Corp. (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research), as the two consoles debuted mid-month, research group NPD said on Friday.
Sony's PS3 sales came in at 197,000.
Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) sold 511,000 units of its Xbox 360 in November, according to NPD.
That console, released just over a year ago, is locked in a three-way battle with the PlayStation 3 and Wii, which were released in mid-November amid speculation over whether Sony can maintain its dominance over the global console market after selling more than 106 million PlayStation 2 units globally.
