It's ironic that out of all posts in this thread mine seems to be the strangest or most questionable one.
According to VGC data last week alone Nintendo sold over 400.000 game copies more than their next competitor as publisher (EA). A slow summer week and Nintendo sells more than double the amount of self-publsihed software than the world's 2nd most successful console/handheld publisher for that week. Another figure: In June Nintendo sold - according to VGC data - 2.7 million more games as a publisher than the #2 publisher of that month (again EA). These publisher breakdowns are available every week, but never posted in sales threads and not very popular on VGC it seems.

"Nintendo still in the lead by a country mile, as usual. Nothing has changed in the past five years."
That is what I find funny. Not your comments on SW. Nintendo's position right now is far far different than it was 4, 3... Even 2 Years ago.
The Wii JUST had a pricecut. It just had the sequel to a game that sold over 20 Million... And it's only 4,000 units infront of the PS3. The Wii is currently being overtracked. 99% of people here can see it. The Wii is currently, according to our VGChartz numbers, despite being overtracked... Still half a Million units behind the PS3 for the Year. The Wii has lost the Japanese market, hasn't outsold the Wii all Year. The Wii has lost America to the 360. The Wii has lost the EMEAA region to the PS3.
A lot of things have changed.
