Kinda proves my point that software is the big reason for console success, Wii has the software, even now, and its yearly drop is because its software sin;t as strong as last year, also if PS3 can't outsell the Wii's software, it'll never be the market leader, even if it has a price drop, and its sales spike will fall off, since there is nothing beyond the price cut to sustain it, also look at other weeks, Wii still outsold the PS3 with less consoles and without Mario kart Wii

No Mario Kart, no Brawl and less than 21 million consoles and it still sells far more than PS3

 

Or instead of looking for examples on this week or that, you could have a look at the tie ratio and see that it's about the same of the PS3.

Slightly lower, actually, by an increasing amount - notwithstanding the fact that 0.8 out of 6.22 of the Wii's tie ratio is due to the bundling of Wii Sports.

And you should decide which point are you trying to push: that many Wii games are system sellers or that the Wii sells a lot of software? Because they're very different arguments, and the data you're pointing to proves neither.

Actually you're wrong on multiple points first off saying that the Wii's software is boosted by Wii sports forgets that people buy the Wii for Wii sports so in fact it supports my point that its software that sells the system and builds momentum, its not that Wii sports is boosted by being bundles with the wii its that the Wii is boosted by Wii sports.  Also saying that Wii doesn't have a lot of system sellers or alot of software being sold is false because Wii is the only console to have 20 million plus selling games this gen, even 360 has only one game over 10 million, Wii has 4 games over 10 million, 3 over 20 million, even PS2 didn't have a game over 20 million, and Wii is outpacing the PS2 in sales at the moment and will likely have a few more 10 to 20 plus million sellers before the gen is over before the gen is over, and as I have shown, even on weeks where Wii has had less consoles than the PS3 out it has sold more software, the reason for Wii having a smaller tie ratio is the weeks where Wii has sold a lot of consoles like during the holidays, where it routinely sells around a million plus, when its tie ratio drops off even though it still moves a ton of software, just not as much proportionately.
