Wii came close to outselling the HD twins combined WW... that's pretty impressive, considering that MS and Sony both thought they'd steal the "casual gamer" crowd from Nintendo with Kinect and Move.

Well not many said that the PS3 or X360 will outsell the Wii,but the Wii is down a lot YoY,while the PS3 and X360 are on par and up YOY,respectively.

Actually, a great many predicted that both the PS3 and 360 would shoot past the Wii when Move and Kinect came out, since its HD motion controls, taking away the advantage of the Wii. That is exactly the point I was making in my original post - that I'm quite surprized, because I didn't expect the Wii to perform so well either.  In regards to YoY, if the Move and Kinect couldn't at least keep the sales up from the previous year, there would be serious ramifications.  These are major technolody investments and releases for each respective company. The Wii hasn't really had much to offer in 2010 to counter it.

I know, I know. From our last discussion, I get it - you really don't like the Wii, and we'll debate this above point over another 15 posts if I let it continue. To summarize - Will was expected to fall to the HD systems this holiday, by many people, but in fact it nearly sold the same amount that both the HD systems combined have sold, even though they have recent major software and hardware releases.
