Every so often, yet another milestone or record-breaking stat is realized on the Wii. The interest in the system, headed by the casual crowd, has been just pure insanity. It may not be too surprising then that the Wii has achieved yet another historic feat: one million units sold in Canada. NPD data shows that total Wii sales have reached 1,060,000 units, in comparison to 870,000 PS3 and 520,000 PS3 systems sold.
Nintendo’s continuing momentum and ability to tap into the casual market will surely make the company sell another million. Wii Music and Wii Sports Resort will most likely be huge successes.

A recent poll indicated that parents are more concerned about their children playing Grand Theft Auto that their young ones viewing pornography. Google Insight data from 2004 to 2008, meanwhile, suggests that those with Internet access in Australia are searching for games than adult content. This year, terms such as “games”, “youtube”, “myspace”, “ebay”, “google”, “facebook” round some of the more popular searches.
I’ve been holding back on posting the initial rumor about Capcom Vs Tatsunoko heading to Wii, but some new information has come to light. All signs are pointing to a Wii release of the game, especially after taking a look on the official site. The website actually has the arcade hardware written down as something running off Wii based hardware. So, there seems to be a pretty good chance that Capcom Vs Tatsunoko will come to Wii.
