can some1 xplain y is wii outselling xbox 360 n ps3?

I think some people, while it's somewhat TOO blatantly obvious, forget that the Wii has this name attached to it:

Nintendo


While some people might overlook that significance, I would think almost every person on the 'market' or 'possible market' has heard of this name to a greater extent than Playstation or XBox. The latter two might be labeled by a lot of 'older' people as 'that new stuff for youngens' while 'Nintendo' seems to carry out its original philosophies fairly well throughout its time in North America.

There's not a lot of trust with "Microsoft".

There's also a lot of publicity on Sony's 'mishaps' financially, as a corporation, and certainly a lot of PR fumbles.

Nintendo? Hmm... the only real thing I think most of the public knows is that the last 5-7 years has seen an absence of that strong previous presence. Now? Hell, my 53 year old dad has a Wii sitting in his bedroom - last console owned? SNES. Now he plays Metroid Prime, Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports. The last games I saw him play were Gradius 3 (SNES) and Super Mario World (SNES).

My Brother, 31, owns almost a dozen Wii games. He hasn't been interested in a console since N64.

I just think 'faith' in the corporate name has a lot to do with relaxed players to enjoy themselves more, let alone buy something.
