These are some strange numbers. The Nintendo DS sold less in the Americas but the Wii sold more.

I don't understand why Nintendo wants to cut GBA and it is almost to a billion. BigN shows no sign of stopping.

Jesus Christ! Are us Americans that hooked on the Wii & DS?

Wii Freak said:

That goes to show you that not many people wanted a gamecube.

No surprise there.

Wow it's sold better than even Ps2 a year after launch. I'll be even more impressed if it passes N64. If history repeats itself it'll sell more than PS2. That was my theory and now it's coming true.

Yeah well, the GameCube didn't do that well. Good to know.

Sweet! And of course Microsoft and Sony are still trying to climb the financial ladder. And failing.

Correction, Snake: the Wii IS a hit.

When in one year the Wii caught up to over five years of Gamecube, that's pretty darn impressive.

The current consles are like people. The 360 is man who people talk to for respect. The PS3 is the teenager who nobody really cares about. Finally the Wii is the baby who everyone thinks is cute pays attention to.
