Nintendo Wii Takes Lead in Console Wars

Nintendo's Wii game console is keeping the lead against rivals Sony and Microsoft, according to analyst firm NPD.
Nintendo sold 436,000 units during the month, with Sony's previous iteration of its console, the PS2, is in the second place. Microsoft's Xbox 360 is on the third place, followed by the PS3.

There is a strong competition between the companies, which is making many attractive offers to make the market to buy its products.

Sony has announced that it is giving away freebies in an attempt to win users to the PlayStation 3 platform. In March, the company will give a Blu-ray Disc version of the movie "Casino Royale" to the first 30,000 Australian PS3 buyers.

In a recent report, TheStreet.com analyst Michael Comeau predicted that Nintendo's momentum should have Microsoft thinking about a price cut for the Xbox 360. But he expects that move could be delayed until 2008, when "surefire hardware mover" Halo 3 is released.
