Who thinks the Wii is directly competing with 360/PS3 and why ?

Yes, ioi should put Wii in its own section of VGChartz, and give it a nice little 100% market share. And a little crown too, and a staff, and it'll most likely need a cape.

Amazingly enough, Wii is a video game console. You play video games (gasp) by using a control method to direct the action on the television screen. So yes, in that sense, Wii is competing with other objects that perform that very same function (aka 360 and PS3). Just because Wii is expanding the market, doesn't mean it's in an entirely new one.

By your definition DS isn't directly competing with PSP either. Hey ioi! Give PSP and DS their own sections, with lil' crows and staffs too! 100% baby!

I really don't think this issue would be such a bother if Wii wasn't selling so well...

Actually, the issue is that it's selling better than it did, when Nintendo was playing by the assumed rules of console wars. 

If it somehow outsold the others, with specs on par with them, it may not have been seen to be such a shakeup. Yet the seeming judo flip this times seems to make some want to "disqualify" the Wii from the console wars.
