Round one to Nintendo

It looks like Nintendo's Wii is leading in the early returns in the big battle of game system intros. November sales figures show:

• 476,000 - Nintendo Wii
• 195,000 - Sony PlayStation 3

While that news is encouraging to the folks at Nintendo, it should be noted that Microsoft's Xbox sold 511,000 units in November, and appears on track for 4 million for the year.

Pass the popcorn, and let's settle in to watch the battle.
