I was unaware that both the 360 and PS3 had passed the Wii in software sales.

Yeah Wii finished last place last gen.  Which is a fact not many are aware of.

I think when all is said and done the only console it'll be behind on software is PS2.. and for that matter the only home console it'll be behind in Hardware sales too.

Hmm, I guess I contributed to around 0.00001% of that!

Hardly surprising, quite quickly after the launch I found most people with a Wii were letting them gather dust or only played Nintendo games, and as ever it doesn't help Nintendo to shift software for the platform if everyone else in the industry doesn't want to make games for their system's. 

Awesome news for the Playstation 4 and Sony though.

Cool. I was looking for a reason to drink today. It's too bad we can't compare all time physical/digital sales, to get a more accurate look at how the current systems software sales are doing compared to their predecessors.
