that was not how I feel but rather an observation I had. if you read through all threads about how PS3 sold 1 mil last week and how much it sold this week, you'll notice that people are making a very big deal on the sales for PS3 now. However, it's just another week for Wii whenever it's brought up how well Wii is doing. |
That's the thing though. The Wii sells amazingly every year.
In 2006, the Wii sold amazingly. In 2007, the Wii sold amazingly. In 2008, the Wii embarrassed the HD consoles over and over and took the holiday season by storm. And in 2009, it did the same. We're used to the Wii selling tremendously well, and it has already run away with an easy first place among home consoles. There's no real excitement because it doesn't have extreme ups and downs like the HD consoles do. The reason PS3 sales are so interesting is because they went from being very low to tremendously high, with doom and gloom replaced with optimisn and cheer. The Wii may have had some shaky sales at some points this year, but it was always selling very well.
And some people in this thread need to cut down the fanboyism. It's just a gaming system, damn.
