is that title a joke!? I guess 2 consecutive 100million consoles doesn't count as taking off. Wow so the PSone and PS2 mean nothing?

Exactly. Not too mention the Nintendo and Super Nintendo generations. I am pretty sick of all this Wii is the second coming of Christ crap. It is successful, and has earned the success, but seriously, it is just a video game console (that is overrated at that). Not to say it doesn't have some phenomenal games, but it is just a video game console, not even a media server like the PS3 and the 360. It can't even play DVD's!
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
DVD playback is unimportant, and "media server" functionality has little to do with sales numbers. The quoted article is so wrong it's silly (which is why it was posted to begin with), but your overreaction is also off-target.

100 million out of a population of 6 billion is not taking off, how many people have TV's, DVD players and Computers, far more than have games consoles, Wii is on track to pass all previous systems by a huge margin
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
Yes, 20m wiis is far more than 120m.... do you think that they think that video gaming only started last year?
Anyway, how did sony lose the Memory Stick format war, did they want it as the only format? Because it is still in their cameras, PSP, phones, PS3, and most computers

heres something else that i would like to point out at the beginning the Sega Genesis had a commanding lead over the SNES but by the end of the generation the SNES had completely dominated the genisis. During its lifetime the Genesis sold 30 million and the SNES sold 50 million. The lesson their is that that the leading console can and does change. it is still to early to predict who will win the console race give it another 4-5 years.
Systems I own (Games)
Sega: Dreamcast (40) , Saturn (25), Genesis (50), Masters System (10), Game Gear (20)
Sony: PS1 (8), PS2 (60) , PS3 (5), PSP (12)
Atari: 2600 (18) , 7800 (10), Lynx (10)

Genesis launched first so it had time to build up the lead, like 360 did, but SNES came from behind to triumph, like the Wii

"While reports suggest Bluray was poised to capture the lion's share of the US$24-billion home-entertainment market, the figure dwarfs the US$37.5-billion worldwide video-game industry, a larger pie that Sony is now primed to take more of."
Sorry, am I just drunk or did this idiot seriously say that a $24 billion industry "dwarfs" a $37.5 billion industry? How can you dwarf something that is bigger than you?
Even if he meant the other way around, $37 billion doesn't exactly "dwarf" $24 billion.
