February was one awesome month for gaming. Figures showed that sales were up across the board, with the Wii selling quite a bit during the month. Perhaps it made for the best Valentine's Day gift imaginable? Or maybe it's just the perfect any day it doesn't matter gift? Or maybe it's just perfect? Yeah, that last one sounds about right.

February's console sales are as follows:

DS Lite: 587.6K 336K (134%)
Wii: 432K 158K (58%)
PS2: 351.8K 87.8K (33%)
PS3: 280.8K 11.8K (4%)
Xbox 360: 254.6K 24.6k (11%)
PSP: 243.1K 13.1K (6%)

Now isn't February typically one of the slowest months of the year? If that's the case then this is going to be one hell of a year for gaming... especially for Nintendo!
