@ montreal - Yes, we do all realise that the Wii has won, and that's why we don't talk about it's sales very often. It's already accepted that it will blaze bast 50% marketshare, and scoop up lots of money and third party love along the way. But what's the point of discussing such a one sided discussion?

And whilst you are right that Soony are content to Gamecube it this gen, I do not believe Microsoft are. Their goal with the xbox was to establish a breach, their goal with the 360 was to poo all over Sony. They are making a small profit, and will likely keep the pressure on Sony, trying to force them to do something rash

My discussion was not about "Wii winning".  Remember, I referred to such things as only important to fanboys.  The fact is that the HD market is smaller than expected by most.  This is a side effect that of the Wii's large marketshare that has to be understood as more than "ohhh, Wii winning!!!".

By your above quote, I don't believe you do realize how the Wii marketshare affects the potential of the other consoles.

Console sales is not like playing HALO/BRAWL/RESISTANCE and screaming "I win! I poo'ed all over you", it is a business.

Please see the seperation between you playing games and companies selling games.  It's not even remotely the same.
