I believe the reason is this.

 

You could either:

Watch the %. It increases, now you only need addition to do what you want. Addition with numbers less than 100, and changes of less than 10. You willget the answer you want fairly oftenly, as you're a bit biased towards that one.

Or

Read a detailed thread where someone describes what is happening, and tells you that "your" console isn't doing all that well, or at least not as well as you might hope.

 

So in reality, this thread gives a perspective to a lot more people than the detailed threads I (or you) make.

Hurray for The Ghost!

But it's a very flawed perspective because as those percentages change, what they mean changes significantly and quickly.  Since people are talking about the Wii reaching 50%, it would make more sense to talk about how many units behind 50% it is.

For reference, the Wii is 4.24 million units from 50%.

 

 I know, I know. I agree with you. I just saw that my post could turn this thread into a flame war (potentially), so I said it and took away the point.

As long as we have both kinds of threads, we're fine. But if these suddenly take overhand, we're in trouble.
