After the last adjustments Wii > 91.5M... Not bad for a d0m3d console, but Nintendo fans should feel even angrier for the missed opportunities, if properly supported Wii could have been able to outsell PS2 lifetime, now the chances are at best very thin.

I think it could have rivalled PS2 even without much 3rd party support if Nintendo hadn't basically dropped it 12-18 months ago, and hadn't tried leaving software 'gaps' to try encourage 3rd party's to fill them.

I agree, I wasn't precise enough, but with "properly supported", I actually meant "properly supported by Ninty itself": 1st party is more important for Nintendo consoles than for competitors, if Ninty fans want Mario, Zelda and Metroid games, 3rd parties can't fill that gap, they can nicely complete the games library, but they can't replace its main ingredients. While milking too much the best franchises and series would be bad, making too little of those eagerly desired games doesn't make sense, Ninty's top sellers reward dev costs and efforts with stratospheric sales and princely profits.

Edit: I was missing an important milestone, gratz to DS for passing 150M sales!
