That's not too bad for a Nintendo system.

NES: 62

SNES: 49

64: 33

GameCube: 22

I don't think it's bad for the system either but it's definatly not what people expected coming off of the Wiil... Just look at what everyone was saying aboutthe Ps3 during this generation "Lost the biggest user base yadda yadda yadda." I'd also would like to point out the gaming as grown awhole bunch since NES and SNES so getting less than those isn't a good thing either. (I think it will settle around SNES)

I think the main reason the PS3 gets so much flak is because it lost two generations and over a decade of Sony dominance to M$, who could hardly even have be considered a true competitor in the PS2 gen. The Wii's success, on the other hand, was primarily due to their Blue Ocean strategy, which is really only good for one gen.
