Yes the Wii is selling very good but....

1. The software isnt selling the best. The software that really only sells on it is Wii sports or that other one with a free Wii mote (wii play?). Mario did sell well but far behind what people thought. In Japan that game didnt sell even close to what people were predicting.

 However it sells more software week after week since Galaxy was released. And don't say "it's because wii sports" because the 360 has 2 games counted with most of its sales.

 And mario galaxy it's on path to become the best selling Mario 3d game ever. So I'm not sure what you are talking about.

Yes 1st party can sell great on a Nintendo system (like Mario) but 3rd party cant. The only million selling 3rd party games are Gutar Hero 3, Red Steel, Rayman Rabbits, and Resident Evil 4. Thts not counting Mario and Sonic because Mario is a household first party nintendo character. Anyways thats good sales for third party beside the fact that 2 were launch titles. Then Guitar Hero sells well on any console. For Resident Evil 4, that was a port from one of the greatest games of all time so I dont blame people for buying that.

 Look at the 360. 23 out of 29 of the million sellers are 3rd party. 2/4 of the PS3 million sellers are third party. I dont think a console can win without 3rd party support. All that it seems like sells on the console is either first party games or just mini games. I think people will get bored of it. I dont expect any huge games like GTA, Resident Evil (numbered ones beside the port), MGS, Call of Duty (numbered), or a lot others to be on the Wii because no matter what you think Graphics do matter.

 Personally I think the PS3 will make a come back and end up selling more then the 360 and the Wii. Given it might not be when the PS4 comes out but since Sony consoles last years after the new one comes out I think that give PS3 a good chance. Plus look at the big games comming out in the future. MGS4, GTA4, RE5, God of War 3, Resistance 2, and many others. The Wii in my opinion only has 2 huge games comming out in 2008. Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros Brawl. Although those games could seal the deal. Super Smash Bros will probally end up being the best selling game of next year (Not counting GTA on both 360 and PS3).

 Im kinda rambling back in forward. So if you can understand that good if not sorry. Im kind of tired so im typing in circles. Anyways in the end to sum it up for you I think the PS3 will sell the most this Gen (not counting DS).
