Wii is not doomed. It's already dead! Just look at SW sales this week :

X360 : 11.658.505
PS3 : 8.798.722
Wii : 3.171.274

What, you say? Wii is the best-selling system this gen!? What are Wii owners doing? I bet many of them are playing on PS3/360 right now...


Yeah, never mind that both Modern Warfare 3 and Skyrim released in both America and Europe this week, and if you subtract off those two major releases, here's what you get:

X360: 2,984,033

PS3: 3,129,094

Wii: 3,096,245

 Speaks volumes, really. The Wii hasn't had a major release... basically for an entire year (not counting Zelda, which releases in the next week's worth of data, and thus isn't in the data, yet), and yet is able to sell just as well as PS3 and 360 once you account for week 1 sales of major releases.

But hey, why bother with actually thinking your argument through?

OK so just because MW3 and Skyrim are big we shouldn't count them? Just because Wii has not a lick of 3rd party support we shouldn't count PS3/360 big 3rd party games? I won't forget to remove Zelda sales next week to match your counting method.
