It's not surprising to see that hardware sales rose significantly in December, but what is surprising is the comparatively small progress made by the Wii -- only a 5% increase from November, compared to some big gains for the competition. People who are paid a lot more than us predicted the Wii would smash the 3 million sales barrier, but nope. We're putting this down to a lack of holiday season supply, or November's figures simply being amazing.On the other hand, selling 2.15 million of anything in a single month isn't too shabby!- DS: 3.04m 1.47m (94%)- Wii: 2.15m 110K (5%)- Xbox 360: 1.44m 604K (72%)- PSP: 1.02m 599K (142%)- PS3: 726K 348K (92%)- PS2: 410K 204K (99%)December's best-selling games are past the fold, along with 2008's top sellers.
