Iwata directly addresses Sony’s ‘Wii owns the closet’ statement

What's even funnier is that this whole statement was prefaced with the words:

"According to our internal research...."

You know Nielson also collects this exact data. Leaving Nielson out is the same thing as saying:
"although nielsen says one thing, we have these numbers you should look at"

Judging by the first words, it is apparent that this statement is spinful. Not that Sony's was any better.
Although Wii is played the least, individually, it doesn't mean it's in the closet. In fact, the sales numbers speak for themselves.

This data is Japan only.  Nielson does not collect data in Japan.
