Nintendo says it has sold more than 600,000 of its new Wii game consoles in the first eight days since they became available in North America.
As the latest "console war" hots up ahead of Christmas, the figure tops the 400,000 PlayStation 3 units that rival Sony initially sold in the US.
The Wii went on sale in the US and Canada on 19 November, two days after the PlayStation 3 deputed in the US.
