I can't believe all these bullshit flamewars. Christ. Grow up, all of you. "Pundits say the Wii is a fad, HAHAHAHA IT'S THE END OF NINTENDO!" Seriously, what the hell.

PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)

If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...
01/08: (008w) +875.8%, 04/08: (021w) +344.4%, 07/08: (034w) +219.3%, 10/08: (047w) +163.5%

If Wii sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass Wii by...
01/08: (008w) +1072.%, 04/08: (021w) +498.4%, 07/08: (034w) +363.4%, 10/08: (047w) +303.1%
01/09: (060w) +269.0%, 04/09: (073w) +246.9%, 07/09: (085w) +232.6%, 10/09: (099w) +220.3%
If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%
2012: (217w) +0064.9%, 2013: (269w) +0033.1%, 2014: (321w) +0011.5%, 2015: (376w) -0004.8%
At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

Damn, these media pundits are worse than Scrooge on the night before Christmas. In fact, the Wii's hardware is far more powerful than the Gamecube. They simply made the design decision to put the console's horsepower into textures, instead of polygon counts. Game designers have a whole new palette of textures and tones to work with. Twilight Princess is just the beginning, you ain't seen nothing yet.

The moment I picked up the Wii controller for the first time and swung a tennis racket on Wii Sports, I realized the Wii was going to be a sensation. I still don't have words to express the sheer joy of that swing. You don't need to see every blade of grass on the field. You need to see the ball, and where your opponent is. Motion-controlled games need textures, not polygons.

Yeah, that's why the PS1 had its "antialiased and trilinear filter" version, to match the N64's... but ultimatelly failed because people are not stupid, they knew the PS1 had the worst hardware of its generation... oh the ill fated PS1...

/end of sarcasm

PS. Eh... Ben, actually you don't need to re-do the game to output it at a different resolution... I have the latest two Need for Speed games on my PC, and run them at 1280x720 (720p) even when this resolution is not officially supported by the game engine.
