Yes, while Sony is seemingly scaping together as many PS3 units as possible for the holidays, Nintendo plans to ship 4 million Wii gaming consoles by the end of the year.

(Thanks to Red Herring for the news and remember that is worldwide shipments, not U.S. only.)

Let's see, if each console sells for $249 and Nintendo sells 4 million that would be just shy of $1 billion in sales revenue. (That's a lot of money -- dollars, yen, Euros, etc. -- not matter how you look at it.)

Who says games are just for kids?
