*Walks out the thread*

 Ehhh that's the pathetic excuses MS used when Wii came out and now it is getting destroyed in sales.  Don't be ignorant like the Xbots.

 Maybe because they're both after different markets, and they both have different goals and ambitions? You think that may have something to do with it? Or is your head to far up Nintendo's ass to understand that?

I thought PS3 fanboys were supposed to be the angry nerds, and the Wii owners were the relaxed casual people who never get angry about anything? Clearly this is not the case. Especially when a console that is almost no threat to their consoles success receives a little bit of its own success.

Seriously, is everyone really that angry that the PS3 is doing better than it was before? Do you really have nothing else in your lives?

 WRONG!!!

they simply get analy pounded by Nintendo, but hey they like it, who are we to question their sick life style. 

i partially agree with both sorair and avinash, wii is always going to be on top, no matter what. so in that respect, its in a league of its own. its not fair to compare it to the two below it, as they cant even reach it right now lol.

and for people pissed at this thread; remember a couple of months ago when people doubted ps3 to even reach 7 million? you werent complaining then.

and the price drop card is no longer valid here, because a few months ago people were saying that the price drop would wear off after a while "as usual", but it hasnt.

ps3 might not be domintating any regions, but neither is 360.

ps3 is second in jp and PAL, and DISTANT 3rd in NA
360 is second in NA, and DISTANT 3rd in JP AND PAL
wii......pole position baby!!

 Wait wait wait! So now you're saying PS3 and 360 are not really gaming machines, they are media hubs! Then why the heck are we even comparing them at all! In all honesty Wii deserves to be up there competing with both the PS3 and 360 because FIRST AND FOREMOST IS A VIDEOGAME CONSOLE WHICH I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE TRUE ESSENCE OF ALL THREE CONSOLES. 

Don't neglect the Wii because they didn't want to shove up your butt all this technology to make the PS3 or 360 so dang expensive that not everyone wants to buy right now. So if if I were to use your analogy it wouldn't be one is apples and the other is oranges, rather they three of them are all apples, just different types of apples (fuji, gaia, red, you name them) and people are buying the type with they believe has the better taste!

So in conclusion, Wii is handling Sony's and Microsoft's asses cuz I know there are traditional videogame players that own a Wii and not a 360 or PS3. 

 under a year at this rate

I agree that the consoles should primarily be compared based on their gaming attributes (at least on this site), but I disagree when you lump the 360 in with the PS3 pricewise.  The lowest priced PS3 is $400, while the lowest priced 360 is $280... that's only $30 more than a Wii.  Yeah, there's no hard drive in that 360, but the Wii doesn't have a hard drive... maybe that's what MS intended the low-end machine for.
