Nintendo today announced that the Wii reached the 30 million sold mark in the U.S. in 45 months. Comparatively, it took the PS2 60 months to reach this mark.

“More than any other video game system in history, Wii has expanded the world of video games to new audiences,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “This milestone is another reminder that people want fun games they can play with others all at a value-minded price.”
