The 360 is the true winner this week. Kinect continues to amaze me!

We must be looking at different sales then, because I still see Wii at number 1 ;)

I'll rephrase: the 360 is the only system up as far as it is, thanks to Kinect (something people didn't think would do much for it). The "true" winner means it shocked the largest amount of people (unless you're claiming that somehow, Wii sales are surprising for the good).

So, obviously, the Wii is the winner in sheer numbers, but the 360 is up pretty significantly (especially considering how long it's been available), hence the comment.

I dunno, 2010 was the year Wii was supposed to die off, especially since it wasn't launching 3 surefire 10m sellers like it did in 2009.  And it's awful Q2/3 sales really reinforced that thinking and mantra too... sure some talked up the coming "holiday lifts" but I don't think most expected to actually work out quite so well as it did.  There's still a lot of "surprise" to be had in terms of holiday 2010 Wii sales.
