Bleu-ocelot is semi-correct, according to this graph. If you notice carefully, last year at this time is was selling a measly 200k average or so, with lows of 150k and highs of nearly 300k. Later in the year it was averaging close to 250k, with lows of 200k and highs of 300k. But this year, it's averaging 300k, with highs of 400k and lows of 219k. So in reality it has got a lot better.
Course, there are two problems with this. The first being that supply was so limited early last year, until they were able to up production. The second problem is that the Wii still outsold the other consoles (though maybe not combined), so unless they are fads too (or something?), then the arguement hardly works. Also, fads usually start off strong then die. Not start off good then get stronger... and stronger. Unless we want to consider the PS2 a fad... and then we might as well consider everything ever made a fad, except for sliced bread of course.
But yeah, the novelty thing, the "no games sell on Wii" thing, the "it's only selling because of price" thing, etc etc, have all been debunked. Now if only some people could realize this.
