It seems that this "analyst" looked only at opening week sales. Let's see...

OPENING WEEK

360: 709,955
PS3: 426,724
Wii: 159,235 (22.4% of 360 sales; 37.3% of PS3 sales)


WEEK 2

360: 169,679
PS3: 123,323
WII: 69,904 (41.2% of 360 sales; 56.7% of PS3 sales)


WEEK 3

360: 89,502
PS3: 48,101
WII: 40,254 (45.0% of 360 sales; 83.7% of PS3 sales)


See a trend here? The Wii numbers are showing less of a percentage drop-off than the HD console numbers each week. Therefore, hypothesis: The Wii version will continue having great legs, and likely eventually outsell the PS3 version (and maybe the 360 version) based upon higher weekly sales numbers over a long period of time.

I should get paid as much as these lazy-as-hell analysts do...

That is not bad. Well, of course wii version of madden was overtracked by a small percentage. Something like 150%.
