Yeah, the Wii has done well in America this month [Feb]. When are numbers released? Thursday?



I think the numbers are out later this week. Someone ask the Source. And yes the Wii almost doubled both other consoles individual sales by both analyst's estimates.

i think its going to be a close fight between PS3 and XBOX360... and on the simexchange its mostly a see saw battle.



I just wonder if the NPD is undertracking the Wii.

I also wonder how many PS3 units are being bought for movie watching.

Go to Toys R Us and see how little space it gives to PS3 games. (Space ratio: Wii-X360-PS3 is 16-12-6 in feet). Similarly, Wii and Xbox have between 95 and 100 titles at a Wal-Mart while PS3 gets about 75. And remember that neither of these places are counted (only estimated/interpolated, possibly based on older market models) by NPD.

Also, while the PS3 consle sold well in Europe last week (according to VGChartz) but not much software appeared to move. So the console might be moving, but is it selling software (which is where all the long-term success predictions have rested).

Just some thoughts.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I wonder how Wii will do in the GTA4 month, I saw it had Wii still over on that site by quite a bit.

Just some thoughts.

==> acutally, since the instal base of the PS3 is smaller than the one of the Xbox360 it is easy to understand why games are selling less than on Xbox360

I m not really about softwares on the PS3, relatively to the install base, they match the Xbox360 ones.
