Although the PS3 has a larger installed base in Spain, it's by less than 100,000 and the Wii is selling better than the PS3 week-over-week. At the rate things are currently going, the Wii will pass the PS3 in Spain sometime next year, but this doesn't take holiday sales into account. Spain is also the last European stronghold for the PS3 other than "Other Europe"; Italy fell a few weeks ago.
Why is this happenning? Because ultimately, the PS3's "potential" is meaningless unless it is realized, and the market's general consensus is that this has not happened. Similarly, its non-gaming "features" are meaningless unless except to people who use them, and again the market consensus is that these features are not being used. This drags the PS3's "value" down in many people's estimation, to the point that they aren't willing to pay what Sony asks for the console. This does not necessarily make the PS3 overpriced, but it does make it overengineered to the point where it can't be sold profitably at a price people are willing to pay.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
