December 7, 2006 - The Wii is less than three weeks old, but it's already reached a major sales landmark. Kyodo News reports that Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, during a speech given in Tokyo on the 7th, revealed that the system has crossed the one million mark in worldwide sales.

America accounted for more than 50% of the sales, the news service reports. In the eight days following the 11/19 launch, Nintendo managed to sell 600,000 systems in the American market. In Japan, Nintendo sold 400,000 systems on the 12/2 launch day.

Iwata took a slight jab at the competition during his speech, stating, "We aren't planning on competing with the PS3, but we'd like it to be said that in the end, Nintendo sold more."

Go Ninty!
