Amusing comments in here.

1.) All hail Wii even though it came off a week where it sold 80K more than the previous year to only drop 335K  from the previous year.  That tells me BF week the Wii sold BF week because of the great deals.  2.) Wii beat the 360 for one reason and that is availability.  Once January hits Wii will really start dropping YoY.

People complaining about the death of HD gaming while COD:BO sells 8.4M in November. 3.) Only reason so many casual titles in the top 10 is because Nintendo gave away 1.2 million pieces of software this week.

I also wouldnt be surprised to see further adjustments for this week now that November NPDs have came out and the ratios will model that more.

1.) Oh please, spare us the Wii is doomed stuff please, I think people are really getting sick of it.. I know I am. I mean for crying out loud, what does the Wii have to sell in order to keep all the negative nancies at bay? 100 million? 200 million? Yes, Wii will be down YoY come January 2011, and so will the HD consoles. Also, nobdy here said or implied "all hail Wii!" God forbid someone should say something positive about Nintendo..

2.) Wii beat the 360 because it has more games on it that more people want to play..

3.) So you're saying Kinect Adventures was in the top ten because Nintendo gave away 1.2 million pieces of software? :P

They're pretty close, if it hadn't been for the bundles this year Wii really wouldn't be ahead in Americas. Nintendo had to add value to the Wii to make it sell, it's not the games keeping it in number 1.

Yeah, and if it weren't for Kinect and a console redesign, 360 probably wouldn't be so close.

I mean what are you trying to tell me, that the GAMES aren't what is making a GAMES console sell?? Lol no, that would make too much sense. Get freaking real... I'm done.
