problem is only shovelware is on shelves here atm (with maybe 2-3 actual games). It is hard finding an actual game I would like.  In comparission to PS3/360 when I look at their shelf most the games you see you recognise what they are as you read about them online and seen videos etc...

That's because the Wii is not only open to traditional gamers (hardcore gamers) but to the ocean that is everyone else... which includes old folks down to the youngest of people.

The Wii is not even recognized by traditional gamers... it's a joke to us and any sign of it failing JUSTIFIES OUR RAGE! RAWWWR!! (Shakes head like maniac)!!!!!!!!!!!! xD

lol Seriously though traditional gamers (most traditional gamers) are just happy that the joke, that is the Wii is seriously failing atm and lets hope it dies quicker then you finishing reading this post.

Interesting not because of the sales order, but how close everything is. The gap between 1st and last place is less than 50k, that's really not very much in the grand scheme, especially when you have holiday numbers where the diff between Wii and the nearest competitor is a 500k gap on a weekly basis. 

That said, I do think that Kinect may be party responsible for the gap.

There are no games on the Wii.....it deserves to be in last.

On a serious note. The Wii didn't have anything til Super Mario Galaxy 2 last year. But it still outsold the PS3 and 360. So the people using "The Wii hasn't had any games release like the PS3 and 360 have" need to take that excuse to the graveyard.

People who own the Wii are growing tired of the ****ware system and Moving on or Kinecting elsewhere.

It was obvious, the novelty of motion controls  has worn off (thing that we are going to see with Kinect itself, which is never going to be huge as it was back in Dec, IMO). Now the Wii can live only in the ammount and quality of its software, and we know that we have a problem there. I think Nintendo should take this as one in a life-time oportunity: start hyping up their new hardware, releasing it before the end of 2012. They can ride on the success of the Wii, getting more support from 3rd parties, offering a very powerful machine and expanding their library to more mature titles. Nintendo has to remember that at the end, casual gamers are not going to make them survive as a vidya company. 

TLS looks good but it ain't a system seller type of game. The wii is ending it's time soon, but this week's sales don't exactly mean it will go down from now. The other systems have new games coming out which is why they are selling with decent numbers.

Reason 1: Yes, Donkey Kong Country Returns under-performed. Its the truth...Nintendo expected it to be a HUGE success similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii. but I don't even expect it to sell 50% of NSMBW's #'s in the end. I wouldn't be surprised to see NSMBW outsell DKCR in 2011.

Reson 2: Reason 2 is the main reason as to why Nintendo didn't make there yearly prediction IMO. Vitality Sensor. Yes, Vitality Sensor was supposed to come out in 2010 until Nintendo desided to delay it. Actually, Iwata said that it was going to come out not too late into 2010 which means probably in September at the latest. Nintendo has also said that they expected Vitality Sensor to be one of there biggest things to come out of 2010 and that it had the potential to be the next Wii Fit. 

Dunno here, they're probably just not buying games at all, casuals wont buy 2 systems, plus with the economy being crap and people losing jobs all over, who can justify entertainment purchases?

You wanted sources to prove that it was all used, but do you have any proof for YOUR statement?

Just checked last year's numbers and found Wii was 5th once, that means below 360, PS3, DS and PSP, so this isn't the first time this happens.
