The Wii has surpassed the SNES and is primed to become Nintendo’s top selling console.

“But only in the last few years has Nintendo enjoyed the prominence it did during the heyday of its original game console. Against the better judgment of many analysts, the Nintendo Wii has become a giant seller. In March 2009, the company celebrated the popular system’s fifty-millionth sale, making it the fastest-selling console in history. The Wii has already surpassed the Super Nintendo (SNES) in sales and is now within reach of becoming the company’s number 1 all-time seller.”
