Gamecube left out of breath...
"This week marks a milestone for the Wii in Japan, and shows that the poor GameCube just wasn’t that loved by anyone. The Wii is at 4,025,356 unit sold (in 54 weeks), which beats the Cube’s total sales in that territory. It is an amazing feat, and an even more amazing turnaround for Nintendo in the console business.
To put things in better perspective, the Wii has reached what the DS reached in 53.7 weeks…so the platform is doing very well indeed. You can check out the chart below to see how the Wii is doing compared to the PS3."
So looks like Wii has surpassed the Gamecube in sales already, in Japan of course. Its only a matter of time before Wii takes over Gamecube in sales worldwide.

wait, so the charts mean wii is ahead of the other systems as well?
No, those charts show the progression of sales from 0 to 4000.
Nice find Snake! Amazing to think that this has happened already!
Gamecube was the worst last gen console..well. I got one..but I used my Ps2 much more than it.
It was the worst..... technically. It had no 3rd party support, yet as a console it kicked PS2's ass graphically and horsepower....ally?

FFX = PS2's graphically best game. Psh most graphical game for any last gen console.
It' no surprise really.Soon Nintendo will retainber 1 spot in thgaming industry witsuccess of Wii & DS. Now all nd are some more 3rd party titles that are good and then it'll really leave the GC in the dust.
Thats amazing. Can't wait until the wii surprasses the ps3 or xbox 360 sales.

um, it already has. In fact, if the PS3 hadn't released just a bit before the Wii, the Wii would have ALWAYS been ahead of it 
Cloud... what was that pic meant to prove? Sure it was a pretty game in the FMV's but the actual gameplay was jagged and ugly.
Anyway. I don't think much of this as I consider the Wii still a Gamecube since that's essentially all it is... with remotes to wave around as well being able to use GCN controls.
The GCN had a better version of SC: Chaos Theory and RE4 than on PS2
The Xbox had Halo 2 and Ninja Gaiden
Much better graphics than the PS2 could ever handle
I liked both PS2 and GCN more than XBox.
I actualy see alot of PS3 ads on TV too.
The Wii finally outselling the GC? My questions is who in the hell is still buying the GameCube to begin with??? Oh, in Japan. Well, they get a lot of games that never show up stateside so that's the reason for that. Almost makes me want to drag out my GC and play it. Wait, I'll just play my GC games on the Wii...
