Both HD consoles are losing in sales to the Wii.
But what I don't see happening, is what all Wii fans have been saying that was going to happen - Third parties would completely ditch HD consoles and only develop for the Wii. We are now 1.5 years into the generation with pure Nintendomination, and games like SF4 are still being announced for HD consoles. The only big defection so far was Fatal Frame and Monster Hunter that I've seen go from HD to non-HD. With multiplat support of games on PS3 and 360, "hardcore" gaming is actually doing better than last generation. If there isn't a mass defection at E3 or TGS this year, I think it's saying that the major projects of third parties will still be on PS360. Why? Fanboys look only at total hardware sales while game developers / publishers partition the install base and look at how well software sells.
I'm probably going to be posting much less often because the "console war" has already been decided. Wii is getting all the sales, but the PS3, 360, and PC entertain me on orders of magnitude more than the Wii. This is coming from someone who has been hardcore supporter of the Nintendo consoles from NES to Gamecube.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
