Wii outsells PS3, Xbox 360 in June

You know what has to be worse for Sony CEO Howard Stringer than this spanking the PS3 received in June at Nintendo’s hands?

First, the Wii/DS combo trounced Sony:

The Nintendo DS collected even more sales than during May, moving an amazing 561,900 units. The Wii followed closely behind with 381,800, also slightly up from the previous month.

Sony took sat next in the ladder, with the PSP selling 290,100 and the undying PlayStation 2 at 270,700 units. The PlayStation 3, which was once again the lowest-selling, current-market console, only managed to sell 98,500 units.

This tidbit has to be especially galling:

Nintendo’s near-obsolete Game Boy Advance sold a surprising 109,400 consoles, despite there being no new software released for the handheld.

As a commenter on DailyTech put it, “Does anyone else find it mildly amusing that the PS3 is being outsold by what essentially amounts to a Super Nintendo that’s short two buttons?”

I do. It’s hilarious.
