Wii on the verge of domination

Wii on the verge of domination

A study carried out by GamePro shows that Wii has enjoyed a better US launch than last gen's winner PS2. In the first 8 months Wii sold through 3.2 million consoles.


Sales tracker site VGChartz is reporting the Wii is within 20,000 consoles of catching the Xbox 360 in global sales.


Sunny times for Big N.

I just read an article and you probably won't believe me, 60% of all ps3 owners don't even know the ps3 had blueray, found in a study. It's right on the box!? Thus proving the intelligence of ps3 owners. Isn't that their only argument against Wii? Pathetic, I say screw ps3 hope they go out of business. Go Wii!

The 360 sales are wrong because 30% of 360 are taken back because of the 3 red lights. This gen's winner will be the Wii, then ps3, then the xbox 3 red lights 60.

For the Wii to have those kind of numbers against the 360 is cool, seeing as how the 360 came out one year before.

Wii= Best. The console sales, user reviews, overall beauty of the console, innovation, customer satisfaction, durability, being made by Nintendo, and Virtual Console ability all prove that. Man, I hope Nintendo does even better than this next year, though it's very hard to beat the Wii. Sony and Microsoft found that out the hard way, but Nintendo knew it all along.

Seeing they had to cope with the shortage, they could have done better.

Nintendo is back! What Nintendo really needs to do is to increase Wii production this year to complement the release of the Big 3 and other holiday titles. Since GTA4 is not coming out this year, I would say that Nintendo has the best chance of dominating well into next year. This will be a huge blow to PS3 because 360 still has a few solid titles this season. Man, Final Fantasy XIII will have to be INSANELY huge to give PS3 a boost. I like Gran Turismo, but GT5 will be the same old stuff.

Heh, good. I didn't like PS2 stealing Dreamcast's record of being the fastest-selling console. Might as well be Wii then.

Wow. That's horrible for PoS3. Less console sales equals less game sales, so the game companies for the PoS3 are not getting much. GO Wii.

It's on the verge right now, but I'm pretty sure we all knew it would be the most successful once it took over xbroke in most sold. If not then before that.

The Wii is the most successful of the three consoles, especially considering time on the market.

I wonder how sony will recover from this when its killer games (GTA 4, Devil May Cry 4, etc) are 360- bound. Oh well, I guess they'll start pressuring Jaffe for their only savior, god of war 3, which will be my only reason to buy a ps3. In the mean time I'll keep playing RE4 Wii ed and wait for MP3.
