Assuming these are North America figures due to low console sales.

These numbers do not include the Japanese numbers which are often much higher for Nintendo products.
Thank you! That's the first thing I saw, ratio of sales. If the PS3 were selling systems at 82K per month they'd barely break 500k units total today. Looking at the Wii, they've been selling what's on the shelf and they've had a constant sale, which isn't a good thing either. They can't supply the demand so once their demand has been fed you'll see sale declines and maybe growth later in its life as more games come out and the supply exists.

I believe the reason they're "collecting dust" is because they have flooded the market, no demand to buy them. Their sales might be decent but they've over manufactured, which is silly I think. If it costs $x now to produce and $x-y to produce some delta time later then it's cheaper to crank up production once that demand is fit. They're losing exccess money from these big shipments to no customers.
