Also, this week:
Wii from 63,944- 63,789. Looks like its stabilised now...
PS3 from 86,913-83,490. IT'S STILL FALLING! IT IS TEH DOOMEZD!!!
You see? This is how stupid this thread is. Singling out one poor week of sales is stupid, because there could be reasons for this decrease. It's not sensible. Will I go out now and make a 'PS3 is DOOMED' thread? No, of course not. Because it's not the Wii...
If we talk about the whole year, then the Wii will likely extend its lead by a couple million, like last year, depending on price cuts etc.
But singling out the Wii's slow start from its amazing holidays and over 85million previous sales is idiotic, and is beginning to annoy me and many other people on this site

But it's not just this week.
From January to March 2010 Wii sold around 3,8M consoles comfortably outselling competition. That's around 20% of 2010 number.
With the way it's tracking currently it'll be around 2,5M this year for Q1.

(Also to Squiliam)
But that's it. Last year in 2010, the Wii was miles ahead of its competitiors. This year it's behind the PS3 by about 10,000, and ahead of the 360 by a similar number
So what if it finishes second this year, behind the PS3 by about 150k? No-one, bar fanboys would care about that.
Yes, the Wii has slowed down...but has it really fallen from grace? Will anyone create a thread in July when the 360 is down heavily YoY? No. It's just Nintendo who gets the battering, and that's what anoys me...
